So this may be a ridiculous question, but how do you know if you're experiencing shutter shock with your G7? I have read about this issue, but also don't trust that I'm not just experiencing camera hypochondria.
Generally I'm very happy with the images I'm getting, but every once in a while it seems like the images aren't very sharp even though I'm shooting at what I think is high enough shutter speeds (1/160 to 1/200) to freeze things.
And shutter shock would go away entirely with an electronic shutter, no?
Am fully open to the possibility that this is purely operator error and that I'm subconsciously building a case for an upgrade that I totally do not need.
Put a longish zoom lens on it.
Shoot an immobile fine-featured scene with mechanical shutter around 1/125 to 1/160.
Repeat with electronic shutter.
Pixel-peep side by side.
I sold my G7 for that reason.
You don't always see the telltale double-edges of bad SS either. Sometimes it's just general softening. I was amazed at how much better my 100-300 performed, according to mtf_mapper, when I upgraded from GH2 to EM5ii (though part of the difference is probably the AA filter).
I avoided the G7 for the same reason (but I kept the GH2).

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
