gfen, It's not the handholding that's the problem. It's that there is too much light outdoors for shooting at 1/60 or 1/30. Generally you might be wanting to shoot at 1/125 to 1/500 and have some control of DOF. Nothing looks worse than a nice outdoor portrait shot at F22 - all the distracting background elements are nice and clear.
That is why the leaf shutter is so important - it lets you still control the DOF that you desire. It is amazing how bright it is outside. Many times you are trying to knock shadows out when the sun is really strong.
