Shutter Shock On High Res Camera
Dec 20, 2015 09:07:27 #
DPR has released their in depth review on their new 50mp cameras. Interesting reading for Canon shooters.
For Nikon shooters just look at page 9 of the review. It compares shutter shock at various shutter speeds and VR on and off settings with single and delayed release.
For Sony its not an issue at all. Canon does well, but Nikon falls short with all but the D750 which still lags somewhat.
Its a little bit of work but worth the effort if you have an inquiring mind.
The real shocker is how VR impacts shutter shock at various speeds. Its not at all what one would expect. I won't get into the details; you will have to do your own comparison and conclusion.
As a Nikon D810/D800E owner I'm disappointed.

i would not be. many things contribute to shutter shock. to mitigate this, use a very sturdy tripod and lower center column, all the way down. and use the "mirror up" feature on your device, prior to exposure. your results will be fine.

In this particular case I had trouble finding the article. Generally a simple google search turns up the information.

I can never find the related articles on that site.

I saw that. Thanks Ron.
Perhaps my expectations are too high since Nikon redesigned the shutter mechanism and uses it as a selling point. I don't see that much difference between it and the 800E. Perhaps I disappoint easily.
I'm certainly not going to jump ship because of this.

Getting rid of that annoying 'klunk' sound of the shutter/mirror made the D810 worth every cent for me.

It is so much better than the D800E but still not quiet enough for me. I won't be satisfied until they eliminate the mechanical shutter.

funny, no one ever had trouble with this on 35mm film cameras. and as for mechanical shutter noise, try a bronica s2 or s2a sometime. now, that's shutter noise!!!
of course, you can always use a leica m camera - very quiet!

I have shot a few thousand frames with the 5DSR, most with out a tripod. I can see no difference with the different mirror delays and modes. you do have to hold it steady and squeeze. I had no problem with image stabilization either. Great camera.

Look! In the old day, the max. shutter speed was limited to 1/1000sec. to 1/2000sec. and no body had ever complained about so called "Shutter Shock", and still took great images. Now you have a shutter up to 1/8000sec or may be more in the future, it will eventually freeze any movement! So why do you worry about that?
This is only a purpose of marketing!
People always go the extreme to pick on some thing that is not really necessary, that makes others getting confuse! I don't really care what they say as soon as my camera gives my need. No thing is perfect!

Leica film camers were very quiet. My Sony RX100 II IS AS quiet. My Kowa 6 was the worst.

I agree with the Bronica comment. I own a C and an SQ-AM.
Hasselblad 500c is another "no doubt about it" shutter release noise. Doesn't bother me a bit.
