who else is tired of the same?

I mean BMP4k,6k, Panasonic S1,S5 all have terrible rolling shutter, didn't stop them from being decent cine cams. None of them seems to want to mention the 4k120 in Z9,A1,R5 are all lineskipped.

As for stills, I rarely find a scenario where mechanical shutter didn't do the job, animals typicall don't care or can't hear your shutter from distance away.

Slightly off topic, but related to your post. I did a Christmas-themed model shoot last night. I used a Canon 5DS and an Olympus E-M1X with continuous lighting. The model liked it better when I used the 5DS because she could actually hear it take the picture, making it possible for her to strike the next pose. With the near-silent mirrorless E-M1X, she had no idea when I was taking each shot. Sometimes a little noise is actually desired.

agree, the dancers like it to

Although we hear many talk about rolling shutter in Video, I strongly suspect it is the realm of photos where most are concerned about when using the Electronic Shutter. When it comes to video, I would say most are concerned about having a Steady Video as opposed to rolling shutter. Aka how good is the IBIS. Also, we are seeing folks post Huge Subjects as opposed to much smaller ones. I would say that also plays a Role.

Don’t know if it counts as ‘wildlife’, but last summer I totally failed to frighten a squirrel just a metre from my camera as it fired off a ten-shot burst. (I’d just set it to do that to snap a rather fast-flying kite: not the feathered kind.) It only left when it decided it wasn’t going to get fed as well as photographed.

I think I’ve only found the noise of a shutter awkward a couple of times. Once photographing two people down at the bottom of an Roman arena in France, when it really echoed round the place, and the two people turned and obviously weren’t happy at possibly being in my photo. And sometimes in a church, where it would be intrusive on people there.

Though I was talking a while back to a pro who does a lot of classical concerts who’d just got a Canon R5 so he could take photos or fire off a short burst during the performance during the quiet bits. (He was rather stuck with that, because for some unknown reason—or just cockup— the lighting director had made the violinist look like Count Dracula if she didn’t look up, and she only did that momentarily.) Something I would have liked way back when I snapped musicians more, though the Nikkormat I used for that then was quiet enough to usually go unnoticed.

BTW: we looked at some of the photos of a couple of bursts together during the interval, because I commented on the horrible ‘music hall melodrama’ lighting and wondered how he was coping, and though the violinist’s bowing had been pretty frenetic her bow wasn’t bowed. . .(Sorry.)

The squirrel is wildlife. However, wild creatures that are habituated to people (like in parks or back yards) are less skittish than creatures where they do not have constant human interaction. Can be the same species of animal but very different behaviors due to how much they see people and how skittish they are about our activity.

I shoot in a variety of locations ranging from busy city parks to rural farms and once in a while true wilderness areas. I cannot say I've had a creature run off because of my shutter sound. Usually it is because of some movement or noise I made. The shutter slap is an annoyance while my wife is with me and she is shooting video. Having click-click-click in the video kind of spoils the mood of a wildlife video.

Good example ,and im glad you confessed and claimed user error i purposely the other week shot a few pics to see if banding occurred shooting a dress rehearsal in electronic shutter mode. banding occurred . so i was straight back to mechanical shutter. shutter-less cameras the future ? not for me.

Glad you confessed you don't like rolling shutter and don't use it. No wonder all your shoots turn out okay.

What was the purpose of your post again?

Cons. "Severe rolling shutter for e-shutter and many video mode"

Do you now know what the tread is about ?

I think this tread is a retread. Maybe it's time to rotate the tires.

I'm not sure you know what this tread is about because you're arguing both sides. . Maybe it's best to leave it there.
