This is foreign territory to me (14 vs 12-bit raw). Could you enlighten me on how much DR am I losing by shooting in ES versus ECFS or MS? I could not choose in the M50 or RP (as they only offer ECFS) but now I can with the M6II I just bought. In that camera it seems zoom lenses at slower shutter speeds (than 1/250 or so) are prone to shutter shock so I was planning to shoot landscapes with the ES to avoid that risk…is that a bad idea?

As far as I know, the M6 II is still 14 bit in ES. I haven't found out whether the original R is 12 or 14 bit in ES - I regularly do 30s exposures in ES with it and it's got an 80ms readout time so I'm living in hope.
