How to sell E-PL7 with E-PM2 still out there?

That would be VERY early then

Maybe you should have your eyesight checked, I think that's more realistic.

So you see, this kind of arguing doesn't lead anywhere, but to schadenfreude. Enjoy you camera, and let others enjoy theirs.

- No shutter shock. The E-PM2 is really terrible in my experience.

I believe there is quite some marketing drivel around concerning shutter shake, they try to push people to buy a new camera. I don't experience any relevant shutter shake problems with my current E-PM2.

I believe you mean "I don't notice any shutter shock problem with my current E-PM2".

Many people don't notice it until they can compare their results to something that does not suffer shutter shock. My E-M5 seemed better than my E-PM2 already, but the GM1 is just perfect.
Shutter shock does not make a picture unusable, it just makes it soft. And I'm not surprised that many people don't care. But I do.

And I was complaining about shutter shock well before it became "hype".

No that's plain Urban Myth developed by negativity. I have had some 5 Pens, and the only one which had some vibration because of the undamped shutter was the PL-3.

All the rest must be user failure to hold properly a light camera. Don't spread BS. We have enough of people crying wolf.

Actually the problem shows up even on a tripod. I was skeptical at first but after testing it's clear there is a problem. Turning on the antishock makes a difference.

Might be. But one wonders when you ever find the time for the decisive instant, since in fact you are delaying it

It's only a 1/8 of a second delay and barely noticeable. It can always be turned off if shooting a higher shutter speeds. I leave it on almost always.

1/8 of a second! A world lays at your feet, and you let it go!

Cheers, geoff

The E-P5 is a helluva camera and does everything I ask it to. It's super customizable and no longer suffers from any SS. I guess if you're happy with the camera you have why pay more for a newer model that doesn't add features you need/want? Many people still use the older Pen models and are perfectly happy, why should they upgrade?

If I get another camera it will be another E-P5 only this time I'll get the classic looking silver and black version then I'll be able to grab the right camera without confusion. JMHO.

Amalric is right, though. For true decisive moments that 1/8 delay can matter. I don't shoot such often, but I recall when I wanted to catch pedestrians walking past two trees and wanted their gait frozen in the space between them, I tried to anticipate and had to press the shutter a little earlier to succeed. If this is the type of moment one seeks out often that 1/8 shutter delay would be confounding.

FWIW.

If that becomes an issue I can always turn it off. So far I haven't had any problems.
