Default JVC Everio HD7 ?

Does any one here have one of these camera's?
I've heard the OIS is absolutely useless but was wondering if anyone has used one of those stabiliser thingies with theirs.....something like this.... Hague MMC Mini Motion-Cam on Vimeo and if so if this adequately combats the problem of the camera's poor hand held filming capabilities.
(Or if anyone has seen other peoples footage with this camera using a stabilizer somewhere online that they could point me to?)
I know a tripod would be best but I am wanting to do some walking (filming wildlife) with the camera....IF I buy it.
I'm so confused about which camera to get. :(
I know there's quite a few negative reviews about this particular camera but from what I can gather it's just not meant to be used straight out of the box. Certainly not a point and shoot camera.
I've seen some absolutely breathtaking footage from it - (but mostly done on a tripod), it's in my price range and I like a lot of it's features. In fact it's manual features seem really good for this price range.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually had some personal experience with this particular model camera.

Thanks!

Tracy
