The shutter sound on my X-T1 is really loud regardless of the shutter speed. So i have been using electronic shutter on the lowest sound setting, that makes it sound like the leaf shutter on the X100 series. Quieter shutter sound is my personal preference and NOT due to shooting in quite environments (churches, weddings etc).

I only shoot jpegs of still subjects/people (no video at all), am I compromising on the image quality?

Thanks

If you're shooting static subjects and you're not panning, using the electronic shutter should be the same as using the mechanical shutter. Do some testing and see for yourself.

Several YouTubers showed that Bokeh changed depending on the shutter you used, both on Fujifilm and Sony cameras. I assume the same would be true for other brands.

And, recently, Bill Claff from Photons to Photos, shows dynamic range differences of the R system based on the shutter type used. Again, I assume this behaviour tracks across different brands.
