Why do you need an Imatest? If you can't see it with your eye well... you can't see it. Who wants to carry a shot filled bag for a lightweight camera? If you consider it critical (I don't) then test with and without a shot filled bag. If you can see a difference then get rid of the camera *and* the shot filled bag and get a different camera.

You tell 'em, Chuck!

The problem is that Mike is speculating, and it's easy to get one's thought in a knot doing that. Been there, done that, have a closet full of the T-shirts. :-) You and I have taken oodles of shots with the anti-shock on, and know it's fine. And all the newer bodies have the EFC option, so to me it's a non-issue.

Mike, just don't consider buying an E-M5, and all is well. :-)   There are 
other good options.

But then, Chuck, by your criterion, we should all have sold our OM-1s, 2s and 3s, because the aperture shock required just that bag of weight with moderate teles. ;-) Oly didn't fix that until the OM-4s and OMPC, and the solution wasn't nearly as elegant as EFC. I really disliked waiting for the self-timer.
