If it has a shutter it has shutter shock.

Decades ago, a magazine did a test on a few cameras to see what image shutter/mirror shock had.  They found the cameras varied by up to two stops in-terms of the amount of detail-reducing vibration they imparted to the image.  One of the lowest was the Olympus OM-1, which had a well-damped mirror/shutter.  Nikon, the FM  I think lost a stop to it.  Even on the tripod, this happened.  They ended-up securing the cameras to a brick wall to eliminate the effect.
