I know you said “just my camera and lens” but i need to suggest an after effects CS6/premiere pro cs6 plugin tool that has saved me on many occasions.
The Warp Stabilizer.
This extremely easy to use plugin uses certain algorithms to smooth out your footage and virtually eliminates most minor to medium shakes in your footage.

Although i wouldn’t get lazy with the camera and rely on it completely, this tool can be great if you get home and realize your favorite piece of footage you wanted to use has some irritating shakes in it that you didn’t notice out on the field.
Definitely worth looking into if you want to save some time re shooting if you bring home botched footage.

I use many Nikkon manual primes with no image stabilization, but the IS on many of these lenses today are ridiculously good.

Ever since I’ve discovered how good the stabilization is on my Canon 24-105 f/4L, I pretty much always shoot handheld when shooting basic b-roll and the time I save by not having to readjust a tripod or even a monopod enables me to get shots I would have missed otherwise.

The key is to get out there and get out there a lot – and more lenses slow you down.
