E-P5 shutter shock ...

It's a matter of vibration/resonance. "0s" may not cure it for all circumstances.

The short delay that is introduced by setting 0s anti-shock (reported to be around 1/40s) may not be enough for all vibration and resonance to die down. It depends on the complete unit of camera + lens + anything else attached.

So I can easily believe that while people with an E-M1 say shutter shock has been cured it may not be cured on the smaller and lighter E-P5 with some lenses.

Don't despair that nobody seems to believe you. The first one to report a problem is always blamed for user error. It will take more people to claim and demonstrate that the shutter shock problem has not magically disappeared under all circumstances by the 0s anti-shock setting. And in the end some people will never believe it because for them it's a matter of opinion and not of fact.

From all the camera's that received the 0s anti-shock setting through a firmware update the E-P5 was the worst offender so it is the most likely candidate to not be fully cured.
