E-shutter in Canon EOS M5?

Re: E-shutter in Canon EOS M5?

Of course ANY issue with E-shutter is implementation of the reset and read speed method & all the sensor noise reduction & down stream processing, it is NOT inherent with the concept of course.

I think what you did/have seen is that some e-shutters would only use 12 bit a/d while normal shutter used 14 bit a/d, which can/is very visible in some pics maybe even most, also on sensor noise seems effected.

I am more surprised that Sony does not have e-shutter in their recent stacked Sensors, hard to imagine why not, but then if you have issues with reading for video (rolling shutter) then it seems it is an issue of sensor read speed and processing speed which would likely affect e-shutter especially for fast FPS.

Processing in a battery/power limited device has its drawbacks/compromises, processing = power speed is directly proportional, even in the magical days of now.

Btw, I think a lot of people are saying it is a big disappointment, I think it is going to spur a bit of race between Sony & Canon, which is very healthy! Especially after A6300 got a bit short on new features as well (e.g. touch focus selection).

Although my Fuji has an e-shutter I don't even recall the last time I used it. To much of an IQ hit. I guess it would be nice to have for emergencies but I won't miss it with the M. To date the only e-shutter I have ever been somewhat satisfied with with is the Nikon 1. Even then its e-shutter had issues.
