Hi all,

it is quite interesting to see what value different brands bring to the table with their camera sensors, when looking at the one topic where ILCs (could) have a big advantage over smartphones: capturing action / fast moving subjects.

Canon sensors for capturing action.

* Please note that the readout time for the R6 II obviously today only is an assumption based on the 40 FPS. Sony for the a7r5 also seems unwilling to officially share even the FPS rates when shooting lossless raw, so the figures are based on preliminary dpr review.

Pretty massive performance differences if you ask me.

What is the point of a silent shutter, if it usefulness indoors with artificial light and outdoors for capturing action is seriously hampered by super slow readout speeds?

I can even ask: What is the point of the last tiny bit of AF improvements if your missing the shot due to low FPS ?

And I guess nobody is spending this amount of money in the $2000+ class just for JPGs or lossy un-raws.

Ok, so what's the slowest readout speed to have acceptable action images?

That is the photographers choice and relative to the budget.

In the enthusiast camera range listed any buyer can make a choice.

What is your answer?

Having distorted elements in a photo is not relative to the budget. It either works or it doesn’t.

Even before anyone talked about rolling shutter, action cameras already had a faster sync speed than most. 1/250 was ideal. Now some cameras can do 1/400.

A camera with a readout speed of 1/60 isn’t an action camera. Real world usage, anyone wanting a camera on this segment to shoot sports still needs to rely on mechanical shutter.
