Re: Have Nikon D3300, Considering E-PM2 As Backup: Shutter Shock?

I have the E-PM2 and it's image quality is up there with my E-M10. The first E-PM2 I bought had terrible shutter shock, so I returned it for another. The 2nd one was far better, however it still showed shutter shock so I tested the shutter delay at 1/8's second but was still seeing it, I finally settled on 1/4's. I've not noticed any issue with still image stabalisation compared to the E-M10, even though it's only rated as 2-axis against 3. However in video I'd say the E-M10 has slightly better stabalisation. The one drawback is that it does not stabalise the live view like the E-M10 can. Also the af points are less numerous and larger and the screen resolution is lacking again compared to the E-M10. I've looked at the E-PL5 (or above) to replace my E-PM2 but I never end up buying them as the E-M10 are nearly as cheap 2nd hand and IMHO are a better bargain.
