Does the Shaky Camera craze annoy you

Every show you watch on TV nowadays seems to have this
'Shaky Camera' technique, sometimes being so over the top
it is outright comical.

Here's a Wiki explanation of it and some insight into it's
origins.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaky_camera

and another:

In some of the CSI type dramas on TV they even use telephoto
quick zooms in/out and deliberate out of focus errors to
give some sort of immediacy and handheld live documentary feel
to it.
I find it irritating and usually turn it off.
Am I officially a grumpy old man?
Why is everything on TV catering to such low attention span
viewers?

Thoughts anyone?

Steve
