Once the e-p5 firmware is updated and you set to 0 sec anti shock then it is very effective. I got my e-p5 after the firmware came out so have only experienced no shutter shock on e-p5.

E-pm2 i also have. Once its set to 1/8 anti shock it reduces it. Some lens body combination make it more apparent. Some lenses ive never noticed it.

GM1/GM5 100% shutter shockless.

That too is good to hear re E-P5 -- my used camera body options, albeit with some modest trade-offs, are expanding.
I'm totally hooked on the Pen-FT film camera retro body styling -- and so I'm probably not exactly lab test objective on the E-P5 -- but hey as a second body at the right price, why not?
It's notable, and probably predictable, that when I looked into shutter shock over the past week or so, what I found when searching was a lot of coverage of the problem -- and only tentative coverage of whether the fixes were effective -- nice to get some calibrating input here. Thank you.
