A paean to the E-M1 on Steve Huff's site appeared this week, written by
someone who had previously used the E-M5. So I asked him if he'd
noticed any difference between the two cameras regarding shutter shock
or EVF delay. He hadn't. No problem. Then some other well-meaning
fellow wondered if it both issues weren't all a myth, FUD or user
error. Or a rank beginner's lack of knowledge. I tried to answer him
without being nasty, hope I succeeded.
My first post is #39, see that and the three following.

I mention this because I was just trying to get some information about
whether the E-M1 was worth upgrading from the E-M5. But it appears that
what concerns me is so esoteric that most people just go "Huh?," or use
it as an opening to propound a pet theory, having never looked at the
problem themselves.
I've noted that a large body of people on photo blogs tend to dismiss
anything that can't be proven "scientifically." And their standards are
so high that nothing can ever be proven, leaving them the freedom to be
always right. I remember the same thing happening when numerous people,
myself included, found that "legacy" lenses didn't meter correctly on
many DSLRs (including E-thingies) at very wide and very arrow apertures.
"No, you must be doing something wrong," they said.
Yeah, I know, it's the Internet.
