I really wouldn't worry about shutter shock. Seriously, it hasn't affected any of my shooting thus far (through tens of thousands of shots over the past year). Other M6ii owners here have had similar experiences.

In fact, I just performed the exact same test as the author of the blog you linked to here, using the same camera (M6ii), same lens (EF-M 18-150), same focal length (122 mm), same shutter speed (1/60 sec), same IS (on), same ISO (100), etc etc etc.

I took two shots in a row, handheld, using the 2-second self-timer. The first was with the Mechanical shutter, and the second was with the Electronic shutter. I can detect a difference in the images, but it's quite small and only when viewed at 100%. I'd really consider it inconsequential (for anything I'd like to shoot with this lens), and it certainly is nothing like what the tester posted in the blog above!

I wonder what accounts for the difference. He shows a very pronounced doubling of the image. (Or maybe it's even a multiple image.) You show just a slight vertical motion.

Hmmm. I know that I can handhold pretty darn well (lots of practice!). Maybe a lot of the shock that's been experienced by others is from pressing the shutter perhaps?

Unfortunately, there is definitely a significant shutter shock. I did a lot of tests handheld. I don't have time to post my images, but it's not imaginary. My images were all fine with electronic shutter, but alas not with the mechanical shutter. In my tests it wasn't as bad as one might think, and it can be mitigated very well with a monopod, but I try to avoid 1/60 to 1/250 second with the EF-M 15-45. I had better luck with EF-S lenses.

Can you tell how is the shutter shock with adapted EF-S & EF zoom lenses?
