I've been following this discussion since it began. "Shutter Shock" exists in every camera, yet here it's treated as if only one camera experiences it - why? In D-SLR's they actually lock the mirror in place to prevent what they call mirror slap. With any product, you can always find some aspect of its operation that won't satisfy some people - cameras are no different.

Panasonic's last firmware update actually added the logic that will automatically switch shutters, and now their GX85 uses a new shutter mechanism made of some type of carbon fiber material. Oly's method actually adds a very slight delay.

The poster i responded to was surprised to see a thread about SS without any images, i simply pointed to him that indeed there were images posted by the OP almost 20 hours ago.

What do you mean with: "Shutter Shock" exists in every camera, yet here it's treated as if only one camera experiences it - why?"? As you pointed out with your links, there are inumerous cases of various cameras with SS, why then you say that 'here' SS it's treated as if it only exists in the GX8? There were hundreds of threads about SS with various Olympus Cameras.

If by 'here' you mean this specific thread and not Dpreview in general, maybe it's because in the 'universe' that relates to Micro Fourd Thirds forum (Olympus/Panasonic) the solution implemented by Olympus (AS 0sec) is in my opinion far better than the solution of E-Shutter from Panasonic (which Olympus also has now). So, if the problem is reasonably solved in one side, why talk about it as if it wasn't?
