Re: Pentax K3 to upgrade K50, or panasonic g7 for birding?

Actually just about all the sensors made have the ability to use an electronic shutter including DSLR chips. However they introduce a number of problems including some unique noise generations. Nikon tried it some time ago in some of their cheaper DSLR bodies but gave up on it. Birding without either an EVF or OVF is not a pleasant activity (at least for BIF).
