An exemplary image stabilizing camera system includes a fixed body having a first receiving cavity therein, a movable unit received in the first receiving cavity, a pivot member located between the fixed body and the movable unit, a motion sensor, and a driving module. The pivot member is engagingly received in and between the fixed body and the movable unit. The motion sensor is disposed on the fixed body and configured for detecting a movement of the image stabilizing camera system. The driving module is configured for driving the movable unit to rotate around the pivot member to compensate a movement of the image stabilizing camera system based on the motion detection result of the motion sensor.
