Smoothness of the camera during the exposure is one of the hallmarks of some
OM cameras. The E-1's shutter release is buttery smooth with nary a notch.
Some buttons when you press them have distinctly stiff half-press positions
and to go to full-press is initially firm then it suddenly gives. This is a
notoriously evil cause of camera shake with some cameras.

I love the way I can squeeze out a shot with the E-1. The OM bodies are
similar, but that mirror slap is evil with some focal-length and
shutter-speed combinations.
