kiddk1,

I hear you on the blur, your hands can only hold a camera so still, thats where the shutter speed comes in. When I start getting down to the 1/30 I find blur creeping in (your milage may varry) And I start looking for looking for something to brace myself against. And even just a little below this a tripod or monopod is a must. You could try bumping the ISO higher to gain a little shuter speed. The other choice is to turn the flash loose. Do you have a flash other the camera's popup?
