What Gary said. I wouldn't let shutter shock deter you from buying the GX8 if it interests you. I was choosing between the GX8 and GX85 but with the auto electronic shutter option, it's hardly an issue unless like Gary said, you shoot very fast moving subjects (ie. a moving car)

If you're trying to decide between cameras, really the best thing to do is go somewhere and hold all of your contenders. I decided instantly when I held the GX85 and went with the GX8. It is an amazing piece of hardware.

Hi Darn It, thanks for adding in to the review. Yes, the ergonomics of the GX8 wins hands down, it makes handling a relatively hefty lens like the 12-35mm f/2.8 very comfortable and the front positioned shutter button makes all the difference in the world.
