Does you camera have a "sport" setting or image stabilization?. The sport setting should automatically give you the faster shutter speed with available light. Image stabilization is a feature found on many cameras. When videoing look for the fast feet per second (fps) setting.

I carry a Sony Cyber Shot 14.1 mega pixel camera it fits in your shirt pocket easily, or you vest pocket. And the panoramic mode is so much easier to convey the story with, about what you saw. At 504 pictures on setting if 14.1 megapixel and more at lesser settings and 16567 pictures at e-mail size. Not to mention the video is good and aprox 1hr or more video. It goes for a ride when I go for a ride.
My pictures on here are taken with the camera I'm telling you about.

Road conditions are the biggest problem I've found when shooting video from my bike. And there's not a lot you can do about that. The only thing you CAN do is get a decent mount for it. From my experience, you get what you pay for! The DeluxeCAM camera mount does everything it can to get the vibration out of the mount itself, with extra features on the base: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/CTGY/cameras.html

I've tried a couple of cameras (canon and lumix). No sports settings so I set the shutter speed manually. Image stabilization seemed to make it worse. It was designed for much lower frequencies than a camera gets on the handlebars. I read somewhere that a lot of image stabilization solutions use "floating" lens elements that can contribute to the problem. For now, I'm upping my shutter speed to ~1/2000 or higher.
