I must thank you for the wonderful website you've created, and I tried to read most of it before the camera arrived.

My main question after using the camera for a couple of days is... How to deal with Shutter-Shock on these small bodies?

Turn on 1/8 sec anti-shock, and turn off IBIS. I had very good results with my EPM2 with that combo.

Thanks. So far I've tested the e-pm2 against my old GF1, and there is not much improvement ;-( Out of several hundred images taken of the same subjects with the same lenses (20/45/14-140), I see not much of Resolution improvement... I suspect mostly due to shutter-shock. (FW 1.0 with IS turned on).

I just updated the FW, and I will turn the IS off, and redo these tests. I hope to see better results.
