Do not hold it like a camcorder.
Press it against a part of your body. If you hold the camera like a SLR you can press the viewfinder or your fingers / hand against your head.
The ultimate trick with swivel-body cameras. Hold the camera like the first portable cameras where you looked down on the viewfinder / monitor and press you arms against your body. (you should be able to get sharp shots at 1/8 sec. without BSS)
