Testing out my new Oly 45 1.8... I'm Astounded!

That's a very nice pic, no evidence that something's amiss, you have conveyed the little girl's 'look' well IMO.. It's probably as much to do with body lightness (easier to disturb) as I never see S/S.

That might be because I'm steady, and the grip/extra battery offer more inertia? ... how do you cope with mirror shock in other bodies?

I don't need to cope with mirror shock because that effects slower exposures at say 1/30th, etc. For whatever reasons the mirror flop presents an issue in a different shutter speed range than first curtain shutters. Someone has done some mirror flop vs EFC vs MUP comparisons and have shown rather decent results.

Regardless there is nothing to cope with in regards to mirror flop. What I must cope with is with a DSLR I would have never taken that shot because that shot was just a random shot of my daughter in some restaurant, and I would have never brought a larger DSLR to a restaurant of no real occasion where as with a MFT camera I'd bring it anyways.

Right now I even think about my newest 6 month old daughter and how she plays on my tummy and I'm not in any position to take pictures with a DSLR yet again, but if I had a nice tilty mirrorless camera, who knows?

There are just more moments to use smaller cameras or smartphones, etc which is really what is hurting the enthusiast market perhaps.

I left MFT for a bit but it looks really good to come back in. I am also looking at NEX as well. Whatever the case the way the market is going, looks like I'm eventually going to buy what I want for a good price.

Also on a DSLR I have to cope with PDAF margin of error depending on differing light sources.
