Mirror shock from this camera registers on a Richter scale.  I always lock up 
the mirror, but despite that, the shutter shake ocurring between 1/8 and 
1/60th is enough to cause noticeable image degradation, in my experience.  
I admit, a heavier tripod than mine (Bogen 3021) would clearly help.   I just 
haven't had the time or the money to do that much experimenting. 
Best,
Greg L.
