Are some cameras more prone to shake

Recently got the Canon 70d and tbh I was set for sending it back thinking it had issues until I tried shutter priority starting at 1/80 and I was upto 1/320 before getting blur free images holding the body and one hand under lens.

Tell me your speeds and holding technique as I may look a div outdoors using my shoulder.

For me it means when I'm on the tripod I can get my focus right and don't need to switch the lens to manual to stop it focusing every time I press the shutter.

Take a look at tony northrups youtube video on it (beware he will try and sell you or plug his book numerous times in every single video)
