What is the reason? For the simple person?

Electronic Shutter (ES) read out has higher read noise than Mechanical Shutter (MS).

I must be missing something. I thought ES was just MS without the M - so the mechanical bit just isn't there.

What am I missing? Is there something I can read that explains the actuall mechanisms of ES & MS?

Decent explanation by Fujifilm here:

Bottom line, as I understand it, there remain situations (most often relating to motion photography) where the differences between the two can become very apparent. It's my understanding that motion related artifacts attributable to ES still exist, even in the latest generation ES implementations. I'm more than happy to stand corrected if there is updated data that suggests otherwise with newer gen cameras. A reference to such information -- if it exists -- might be very helpful in answering the questions being raised here.

Meanwhile, out of an abundance of caution, and until I see data to the contrary, I will continue to avoid using ES in any situation where motion is involved.

How does ES motion artifacts relate to DR?

My comment wasn’t related to DR, but was simply a response to the comment I quoted.  Apologies if that ends up being just a bit OT for this thread.
