Re: Shutter shock

The shutter shock with IBIS turned on seems to kick in at around 1/60 sec and faster (but I haven't tested it for each shutter speed, so caveat emptor). Your examples are at 1/8 sec.

I think the E-PM2 with the kit lens produces really GREAT image quality for only $199 (especially if you know how to edit out the purple fringing in Lightroom), but I don't want anyone to be deceived into thinking that it's camaera with well-functioning image stabilization.

One can make an argument that it's not worth paying an extra $600 for an E-P5 (which now has no shutter shock after the firmware update) which has identical image quality (and is also less portable because it weighs a lot more).
