- It is a Sony T70. It is more like a vibration. It doesn't happen all the time. I have taken the battery out and then put back in but it doesn't help. The next time I use it, it may be fine. It might be the Gyro. Is that somethine that can be fixed and how expensive would it be. Could it just need a new battery? It is a rechargable battery. How long do they usually last?

How does the camera shake,?
It might be your hands?

You may not be dedscrfibing this clearly enough to get a diagnosis. I am presuming that somehow the display is unsteady, but there would be no display if the lens was closed. Ifr you are lookingb through the viewfinder and experiencing a shake this would not be any mechanical problem within the camera it would be external and an unsteady hand, If you are viewing replays of pics and the display is unstable in this mode then i can accept that therte may be "shake" in the stability of the picture. Steady Shot cameras have a Gyro in them, if this becomes faulty it can cause instability to the handling of the camera. there i have covered the options. If the latter is true and your camera ( no brand or model mentioned) has the shakes then it must be returned to its manufacturer for repair

- well recharge batteries last about 2 years but Canon say 1 year as they want to slug you for a new battery more often.
A battery should be fully charged before use and a low battery has been known to excite the gyro to a point where it shudders but usually nothing else works. Repair if a gyro is expensive and cam exceed the cost of replacement. Try a new battery first, if it perists after that I would be looking for a new camera. Always get a quote on repair, balance that gainst the time you have had the camera and the cost of getting another camera. The gyro cameres ( steady shot) are very good and indispenible to good photos. So don't necesarily try and get a new one without this feature. Good luck with your decision
