It's not the focal length that affects camera motion, it's the angle of view. And since a given lens on a crop sensor camera has a narrower field of view than on a full frame, the crop factor should be applied. But you are right, it's not an absolute rule, but a guideline. Some people are naturally steadier holding a camera, and practicing good camera holding techniques can allow you to use lower shutter speeds.
Right - Thanks - I'll have to get my head around the Angle of View thing, not intuitive for me at all. And weird, I'm sure, but I'm more successful with slower shutter speeds (according to the 'rule') with tele lengths than wide angle lenses!!
