To me the camera's shutter sound is probably the key-criteria if I can fall in love with a camera or not.

Here is my list in descending order:

E-M1 > E-P5 > E-M5 > E-PM2 > E-P2 > E-M10 (ii) > E-M10

E-M1 Mk2 > E-M5 Mk2 > E-M1 > E-P5 > GX85 > E-M10 Mk2 > E-M10 > GX8 > GH4 > GM1

I really dislike the GM1 shutter, it is so flimsy and fragile sounding. Everytime I hear it I imagine how the shutter blades are so thin and weak that they likely go broken on next actuation.

WOW, I'm impressed. I truely appreciate the efforts put into such an important set of evaluations. Could you please elaborate more on that and let us know what exactly were your criterias for evaluating the shutter sound of these cameras the way you did, did you use any measuring tool or device to measure it, did you take environmental noise into account? and why did'nt you add to the list the E-M5mk1 and the Pen-F which are welknown for their very pleasing shutter noise?
