Just a few quick comments from some experience with both the Pana FZ20 and more recently K-7:
* When I have to use a slow shutter speed (1/30 to 1/20s or slower), I take a deep breadth before shooting to be more relax. It certainly help me.
* If I have to use 1/10s or slower, I sometimes try to steady myself by placing the camera, or simply my arm, on a solid, still support.
* With the K-7, the SR takes about 1-2 s to come ON (light in Viewfinder); it helps to have the SR on and it requires a 1-2s wait with the K-7.
* When I can, I prefer to set the shutter speed at 1/20s or faster, and manually control the ISO or aperture.
I hope that the suggestion helps. Certainly the first point does help me to steady the camera.
Hope that it helps...
