To put the Sony a7r shutter vibration in perspective, I made some tests
with it on a Gitzo Traveler tripod, pole up.  The results are posted here:

No question that my M9 is quieter, but for the optics I use, the vibration
has not been a problem.  The light weight, however, makes sloppy, fast
shooting much more susceptible to blur than the M9.
