I believe the issue here is so called 'rolling shutter' - the pixels are processed row by row with a CMOS image sensor. The very slight delay causes distortion when the camera or subject is moved suddenly or subjected to shock.
In my experience, a cheap, shaky tripod makes the problem much worse than hand-held shooting because it absorbs shock. I have an HV20, and it helped when I got a better tripod.
I have that problem with my HD camera too, I went to Nat'l Camera and asked them about it, and the they basically told me I have to deal with it because that's how an HD camera is. I solved the problem with a heavy duty tripod. That helped a lot, and improved video quality significantly.
