Minute 17

OK it’s a little faster. But consider : 1 millisecond is 1/1000 sec. We often photograph birds in flight at 1/2000th sec or 0.5ms to freeze the motion. So the tip of a bird’s wing will move 28 times as far during sensor readout using E-shutter compared to mechanical shutter closure. Of course this affects different parts of the wing depending on how it interacts with the line-by-line readout of the sensor. I think a 14ms readout will still show very significant rolling shutter artefacts and distortion. The only complete answer is global shutter (whole sensor read out at the same time).

its not 100% accurate.

Even if you drop from 1/2000 to 1/1000 this doesn't mean the bird wing will be totally blurred. 
in other words birds dont flap their wings 2000 times per second. Fastest birds flap their wings around 100t/sec.
Then the sensor read out is for the whole area of the sensor. How much time it needs to scan from top to bottom (or right to left, idk).

Unless the area we are talking about covers the whole frame, (it doesn't, it doesnt even cover the 1/100 of the frame), then sensor read out for that specific area is gonna be much much faster.

So all in all, its a very welcomed change and i believe e-shutter is usable in most scenarios.
