Originally posted by GregK8 Every SLR can suffer from vibrations due to mirror slap. Hence the reason for the mirror up functions. To eliminate it, use a tripod, then either use the 2 second timer or turn on the mirror up function so you have to hit the shutter twice. Once to raise the mirror and again to take the exposure.
I understand the reason for the mirror up function, but the question is about a "brutal" amount of mirror a slap. And is it causing blurry shots?
Or is this untrue and the K-5 is normal for an SLR? i.e. Can one expect to get sharp shots just like I can with my K20 or now do I always have to use the mirror up function to get good shots?
If it's true the K-5 is worse in this respect than say the D7000, I would certainly buy the camera that takes sharper shots!
