Thanks for your reply. I am still a bit confused.

Let's say I am shooting a still subject handholding my camera.

If I shoot at 1/400 sec with e-shutter, will I get the same amount of hand shake as if

That depends on how you quantify "the amount of hand shake".

I shoot m-shutter at 1/400 sec or

I shoot m-shutter at 1/25 sec because of the readout speed?

If you zoom at the two images to the pixel level to compare how sharp they are, the two images will look about the same.

If you overlay the two images, you might find that shape of the subject is slightly different. The lines in the e-shutter image will be as sharp as in the m-shutter image but they will be slightly bent. My point was that the amount of this bending for still subjects and good camera holding technique will be so small even at 200 mm when image stabilisation is on that no one will ever notice anything.
