I shoot in e-shutter mode most of the time - you just have to watch out for rolling shutter effects on moving subjects or when panning, and switch to mechanical if needed.

Also DR takes a hit, G7 Raw files are only 10 bits with the e-shutter.

Forgot about that ... that's definitely a downside. My EM5ii doesn't do that.

Yes it does. I just checked a Raw file off DPR for both cameras. They both show missing codes below -7 EV.

Something is fishy then - I just checked a trio of EM5ii images and they all have the same bit depth. Published info on the EM5 indicates that it's 12 bit, so either they're curving down to 10 for storage or things are mislabeled or ... ? Will have to dig deeper when I have more time.
