Re: E-P5 shutter shock ...

It would be nice to see some of the photographs that have this problem to help others form perhaps a more balanced opinion.

I wonder in the general case when we encounter problems like this with our cameras  and lenses whether it would not be better to have the camera checked out by a technician  before posting on the web. In a certain sense we are accusing the manufacturer of putting on the market a defective product with all that implies, which is then possibly read by many prospective buyers of these goods.

Following on from above I am surprised the Olympus and Panasonic and the others do not have somebody to cast their eye over what is written on some of the major Forums and Blogs now and again.

It is true that the vibration caused by the focal plane shutter in every camera with this type of shutter summed together with the optical limitations of our lenses causes image degradation .This fact is as old as photography and we just have to live with it. It is also possible that a camera also has a design fault.

Some of the replies above strongly criticize a camera that I happen to own (EM5) and which has produced pictures free of shutter shake  to a degree that has rendered them unusable for printing to a large size.
