I suspect others have noticed the lack of ANY credible reports for
shutter shock (SS) on Fuji mirrorless cams. I find that very mysterious.
Cognizant of the fact that the absence of of evidence is not equivalent
to evidence of absence, at this point the lack of any reports of SS is
becoming very suggestive that Fuji was somehow able to mitigate this
effect. Every Sony/Panny/Oly mirrorless cam thus far has some shutter
shock--some quite substantial like the E-P5. The engineers clearly have
tried---witness Oly anti-shock mode and EFC option on many Panny cams.
There is no electronic shutter/first curtain to my knowledge on the
Fuji cams. I have not run across any formal MTF vs Shutter speed
analysis like in the Castleman article:
http://www.wlcastleman.com/equip/reviews/pz14-42/index.htm
I have seen 100% crops on Fuji using long focal length alts with lens
tripod mount so the cam is hanging off the back (set up for Shutter
shock) with no easily visible untoward effects at susceptible shutter
speeds.
I have not seen a series of images with 100% crops though a various
shutter speeds to see if there are any discernible changes in sharpness.
The engineering type pixel peepers on FM for example would should have
picked up on any shutter shock issues by now. They even found the
conditions whereby the "lossless compressed RAW" on Sony A7R is not
truely losseless.
Any speculation as to what is up? Could they have really out engineered
Oly/Panny/Sony?
