Answer 1

Always use a tripod, monopod or some other steadying device - never handheld. Copy what the pros do... Tripod, monopod, crane, SpyderBrace (you can make one from PVC pipe).

Keep zooming and panning to a minimum. If you have to zoom, then zoom v e r y   s l o w l y. If you have to pan, then pan v e r y   s l o w l y. Watch TV or movies... pay attention to the camera work.

Turn on the lights. Most consumer camcorder do not do well in low-light because they have small lenses (can't let much light in) and small imaging chips. You can add light by turning on some lamps or using a video light.

Disable digital zoom. It is useless. Use only optical zoom.

Then there is audio... but that is another post...
