Is weight of the camera an issue or not?Many cameras both in the superzoom and the dSLR classes claim to have lenses with image stabilization that works up to 4 units (each unit corresponds to a doubling of the shutter time). However, I doubt they are made for this kind of tremor. Therefore, I would go for a camera that can use high iso without much negative effects, and therefore can keep the shutter time very short. If you are wanting to not go too expensive at the start, I would go Pana FZ1000 in the superzoom range. It has a (for a superzoom) larger sensor which should make the high iso images less problematic. If you are thinking about more expensive dSLR equipment, then reply with a price range.
