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.

Not sure what camera you're shooting on, but if blurry photos are an issue I would suggest to increase the shutter speed as fast as possible. You might need to increase iso to compensate. If your camera has a shutter priority mode, try that and set the speed to something like 1/500 or faster.

Also keep the camera close to your body, tuck in your elbows. You can also use your environment, like leaning on a tree or wall. I'm often bracing against things if I need a bit more steadyness, esp in low light.

I'm currently looking for a camera. The only one I tried was my father's that he got in the '70s.

Good tips on how to hold the camera though. I'll be sure to try them out when i buy a camera.
