On the Nikon D1 series, D40 & D70 and the Canon 1D, the only use of the mechanical shutter was to get out of the way so that the CCD global shutter could fire under camera control for the desired ...

My friend Ivan took me to The Camera Store in Calgary where, as a serious film shooter, I reluctantly purchased a slightly used Fujifilm S1 Pro. Two days later I took some downtown snaps at the ...

If you can find one, I would prefer an original Canon 1D which was an APSH CCD which came out before Canon had finished their CMOS sensor development. The 1D sensor was purchased from another ...

I don't know about compatibility, however I do like the Canon 50mm f/1.4 which overall is at least good wide open

That the general opinion. Motion distortion usually might be replaced by a blur effect , some led banding will be reduced/eliminated - much like  high frequency multi kilohertz gas discharge ...

For studio work I usually shot 1/500 and sometimes faster on the D1 Series.  I could  then control the effective duration of the studio flash by changing the camera shutter speed.  This saved me ...

Which of the triggers that you actually used have this issue? I have never run into this with cheap $79 triggers nor my many Pocket Wizards.

With the D1 series, the only thing the mechanical shutter does is to get out of the way so that the actual global shutter can be activated to allow capture for the actual exposure time. In effect ...

If a sensor grabs a scene with a global shutter, how that is transferred to  the camera is an independent process.

Only in a tangential sense. Please recall what and why was being promoted.

Lovely bridge.  Why did you not use the bridge vertical members as a reference?

That is a bit of bluster which implies that was/is a general photographer requirement. I did illustrate my position with reasonable images and argument with D1 images. The ISO limit is probably ...

Nikon D1 series CCD sensors had global shutters and I assume they had patents. I wonder if they have any patent rights/protection in view of the Sony global shutter? I gather there are many ...

His presentation is well done and accurate and matches some of my experience.  However, for the majority of my shooting only slight effects were noticed when I looked very closely.

From my experience with Nikon D1 series shooting dance etc I never noticed any tangible value to global shutters. However I suspect there would be some visible changes when shooting rotating ...

Which camera are you using for this implementation?

If you study the visual effects and implement them except trivial "remove all" too much technical display can interfere with other aspects of photography which should be about the nature of the ...

Of course. If you are serious about how technical aspects may influence your creative approach you may choose a careful selection of viewfinder options.

You forgot "in a general sense, may or may not". In what way does 60 fps or more generally benefit most photographers? Of course, some folks who itemized each feature recently invented as a ...

IMHO with camera technology, change is just an evolution of features that, in a general sense, may or may not be an overall benefit. Some people thrive on the changes as part of the hobby :-) My ...
