Oh, I lived under the impression that the 0 sec anti shock completely cures the problem, but if it disables sequential shooting that's really a shame! Even more reason to try sell my VF-4 and get E-M10mk2 or GX80. Thanks!

0 sec anti shock does fix shutter shock on the e-p5. It does not disable sequential shooting at all.

You should also note that 0 sec setting only operates 1/320 or less, above that it isnt used or needed.

So you can happily use sequential shooting with a setting of greater than 1/320 and be worry free about any shutter shock. imo if shooting sequential its for action and would use a higher speed than 1/320. so reality is that its not an issue for me atleast.

Also worth noting that theres an additional setting of 1/8 sec in sequential mode if you need it for less than 1/320. its hidden in the menus but to be honest i never used it. just set higher than 1/320 sec shutter.

Also worth noting that the evf on the gx85 is poor compared to the vf-4. I went to buy the gx85 as an upgrade myself but just didnt like the evf.

If it comes down to image quality all these cameras are all in the same ball park, so unless theres a feature you really need, maybe stick with what you got and save up for the next level up.

Next level up for consideration is pen f/g80/a6300/xt20
