The fact that someone starts a thread on shutter shock does not force you to read it or respond to it. If the theme is not to your liking, why not look at other themes (there are plenty) or start your own thread about something you find interesting.

I have found the M43 format to be an extraordinary  camera system.  These small lightweight cameras I have found perfect for my needs.  Like many others the problem of shutter  vibration is not an issue.

I think it is worth commenting, as from some of these posts and replies’ it seems that the M43 system is a defective system and should be avoided.   I hate this misinformation that blows the problem out of all proportion.
