You are correct re: the viewfinder (or lack thereof), I was thinking of another model.
I did some Googling on this one myself and also found lots of reviews mentioning blurry stills... many users mentioned that it seems worse on high shutter speeds (not sure if you have noticed this or not) and thus it is probably a vibration problem. Found this info which might help you:
The PHOTO button is in an awkward location and when pressed can give a slight jerk to the camera unnoticable to you but affecting the picture. Try placing another finger behind the camera under the button location and 'squeezing' the button rather than 'pressing' so the camera does not move."
Something like this may also explain why you sometimes get OK photos and sometimes don't. Maybe that will help?
