Camera that can help offset tremors? (lemmy.zip)

Are there any cameras that dont break the bank but also have decent stabilization? Ive used a tripod in the past with one of my dads old cameras (No idea what kind of Canon, but i know it used film). However, the tripod only helpped so much as the pictures were still blurry.

I've noticed recently that my tremmors have been getting worse. And would like to at least say I tried to get into this hobby before I'm unable to keep soup on my spoon.

Depends on how great the tremors are.

Some cameras have sensor shift in body stabilization (IBIS), where it moves the sensor to compensate for shakes. I shoot an old Pentax k30 that has it.

Also a larger heavier camera could help dampen tremors?

On the camera you used, modern colour film is pretty "slow", in that it has a low sensitivity (usually iso 100-400), so requires the shutter to be open longer. Digital will let you use a higher sensitivity, thus a faster shutter speed, so there's less time for movement to affect the photo.

Unfortubately more weight translates to more tremors. I get a lot of concerned looks at the gym, and I only just started my warm ups. So lighter the better would be the direction I would lean towards.

It's good to know that digital would be better suited for me. That narrows down the choices a bit I hope.
