Disadvantages:

  • can cause banding when there is fluorescent lighting
  • can cause rolling shutter problem for rapidly moving subjects
  • GH4 and some other Panasonic bodies switch to 10-bits with electronic shutter, but 12-bits for mechanical shutter -- GX7 uses 12-bits for both
  • The shutter speed with the electronic shutter is limited on some bodies (for example, to 1 second or less on the GM1/GM5).
