Losing the mirror is a major win for reducing camera shake.
I\'ve still never seen any demonstration of \'mirror slap\' blurring an image in any visible way, even on the massive Pentax 6x7. Mirror slap blur on 35mm is a popular myth in my experience.
I agree with Brainiac. I think this is again an acadenic issue, not a real world shooting reality.
One should probably conclude at most that one hasn\'t seen any proof of how much it affects camera stability, not that it is definitely a myth, until it is actually disproven. Maybe someone who shoots rangefinders can weigh in here-- can you shoot rangefinders handheld at significantly slower shutter speeds? If so, are there any good alternate candidates for the difference? Just thinking out loud here.
