You can get Image Stabilization (anti shake) on several long zoom cameras for $300 and up.
Some models are Canon S2orS3 IS, Sony H1or H2orH5, Panasonic FZ5or7or20or30, some Olympus.
These all work reasonably well, but don't work miracles. Most have 2 gyroscopes that move the sensor to compensate for camera movement.
They cannot do anything to compensate for the subject of the photo moving, only the camera.

For my money the Canon IS is the most reliable, but none are perfect. There are electronic methods and mechanical ones. Some are built into the lens and others move the sensor. Personally I don't like the moving the sensor method. The mechanics for the micro motors are fragile and prone to damage from g-force. A bad senor means a dead camera and a shoot the ends. A failed stabilizer in a lens means you have to turn it off but you can still shoot or at worst, you have to change lens. The electronic methods are good for video but not for high resolution stills.
As someone else said, The best type is a tripod with a fluid dampened head.

The "best" anti shake on a camera is a tripod. I prefer using a monopod but both will help take blur out of pictures. If you don't want to lug around a tripod, as mentioned on previous posts... some lenses on cameras have a built in "anti-shake". On Nikon lenses this feature is called VR. Check out the link for more information.

Steady-cam is excellent.
