Have you noticed a difference in the way e-shutter works? What's the max e-shutter speed on the GX7?

1/16000" vs 1/8000". Would it be a real deal breaker in real life?

Might be worth mentioning that the GX80 apparently has a quieter shutter, is that useful?

The new shutter on GX85 and later models help, but not a 100% elimination of shutter shock as I found. 14~140 which is prone to SS because of its very sensitive OIS, still find trace of SS on M-shutter of GX85. In fact the same (happened in more restrictive conditions) on G85.

My latest home testing suggested even EFCS of G85 might produce less sharp image on using 14~140 vs e-shutter on 1:1 examination.

If applicable, e-shutter is still the best/safest option for sharpest output IMHO.
