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.

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?
