The Imaging Resource test with the 300mm f4 found a more obvious difference between the EFC and Electronic shutter than on the less sharp 75-300 zoom lens.  The Olympus 300mm f4 and the Panasonic 200mm f2.8 lenses are extremely sharp and are far more likely to show differences than other lenses.  Also they are using targets that are capable of showing even very small differences in sharpness.

If you want to compare them with your lens I suggest you put it on a tripod, as close as it will focus and focus on writing (with a white background) on your monitor.  Now compare the pixels at 100%.

See below comparison of actual pixels with 300mm f4 stabilization test comparison.
