It depends on the camera.that is not trueLess dynamic range, showing more shadow noise at high ISO and other effects. It's less of an issue if you're a JPEG user but raw files lose two bits of data capture using electronic vs. mechanical shutter.
Some higher-end camera's electronic shutters capture images at 12-bits, while some lower-end cameras only capture 10-bits.
This spec is very carefully hidden, so if it's an issue, it's important to find out before you buy a camera.
Personally, I would NEVER buy a camera that produced 10-bit image files.
Rhetorical question of the day:
Speaking of image file bit rates, why don't M4/3 sensors produce 14-bit files?
