Camera shake

I've got a Cannon Powershot camera and recently got a handlebar mount for it. I was disappointed that even with the anti-shake feature, the road vibration is just too much and makes for blurry video on all but the smoothest roads. I know that helmet or chest mounts would eliminate a lot of the fine vibration, but I see a lot of videos out there that seem to have the camera mounted on various parts of the bike frame and they are not nearly as blurry. I'm not sure if the GoPro type cameras just handle fine vibration better, if there are vibration dampening mounts, both??? I'm putting together a chest harness but I'd like to do some video with rear facing mounts or perspectives from different parts of the bike frame.

How do you get clear video on anything other than smooth concrete roads?
