Anyone else notice less camera shake with x100 over DSLR?

I thought I was crazy at first, but it always seemed like I could hand hold lower shutter speeds with my x100T over my D810 + 35mm, even though they share the same field of view.

So I wondered if hand hold-ability isn't just related to the focal length itself, but the actual optical formula used in the lens design.

i.e.
Would a short/smaller 35mm Leica lens design produce less shake, than the really long/big 35mm 1.4 FE lens, even though they have the same focal length?

In the below diagram, I've compared the x100T and D810 with 35mm 1.8, as that's what I use a lot. They share the same or similar field of view, but the potential shake movement/distance, appears to be reduced on the X100's compact design.

Anyone else notice this?
