Question: I've noticed that every episode has scenes where the camera is swaying a little, suggesting the camera was handheld or resting on the cameraman's shoulder. Is there a reason for filming this way, instead of just using a steadicam? It doesn't really add any sense of style to the show.
Answer: It is a style of filming a scene, a style of camerawork. In your opinion it doesn't add anything, but they do it for that purpose.

The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Plot hole: After Doom has stolen Silver Surfer's powers and retreats, Surfer tries to pursue him, but is too weak and falls off his board, and has to be rescued by Reed. Since they were in the vacuum of space, Surfer shouldn't have fallen off his board at all, he would have just floated away from it. (00:12:47)

Answer: As the other answer indicated, it is a common filming technique used to achieve various visual effects. Handheld cameras can create a deliberate sense of movement that follows a movie's action. A cameraperson can physically move in much closer to an actor, creating a more intimate connection between the character and the audience. It can also reflect a character's movement from their vantage point, and can be used to create a greater sense of realism with an edgier, less-rehearsed, or a documentary-style feel.
