Take a camera with new type of shutter, because shutter shock was the first that disappointed me in M43 after Sony.

Shutter shock is over-hyped / overrated. Silent Mode (electronic shutter) negates it.

It occurs only with a few lenses, generally more lightly constructed ones, within a narrow range of shutter speeds.

Unless you're shooting fast moving objects, where you'll get jello effect distortion, you can use silent shutter the majority of the time. I probably use the mechanical shutter with my GX8 less than 5% of the time (driving rental cars when traveling).

Here's a little sequence shot crossing the Puente de la Constitución de 1812 leaving Cádiz, Spain.

Now I have GX80 and GX9 and after a comparison with A6500 I decided to stay at Panasonic.

I agree, I leave my Electronic Shutter on by default. With the E-M1 II the readout is so fast that the oft hyped "jello effect" is virtually non existant. Olympus could do away with the mechanical shutter and I would not miss it (maybe with a Global Shutter in the next flagship?)
