Shaking hands with Fujifilm A170 - HELP

Are there any user of dgrin who use the Fujifilm A170 and have shakey hands?

I want to buy one but am concerned because my hands shake a bit? I had a canon compact a few years ago and it was so light I couldn;t hold it still.

Can anyone tell me your experiences and recommendations?

Thanks

    The Fujifilm A170 lacks any sort of stabilization, so camera shake (from any source) will complicate any capture especially at lower light levels.

    I strongly suggest a camera with stabilization and, preferably, one that also allows the use of an external flash. An external flash gives benefits far beyond basic illumination, but indoors it would allow lower ISO settings along with reasonable shutter speeds to further reduce camera shake beyond the stabilization alone.

    Just stabilization alone will help, so at least look at models like:

    Canon Powershot A1100 IS

    Sony Cybershot DSC-W220

    Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS

    Nikon Coolpix S630
