I was taking photographs of some demonic ritual while vacationing in Varanasi, India, when suddenly the shutter of my Sony A7 IV camera snapped. The kilometrage on that camera was around 23k photos at the time, but I wouldn't rule out demonic interference as the actual cause.
Anyway I couldn't take anymore photos that night and almost had a panic attack (tfw you get stuck in India and can't even take photographs) so I went back to my hotel to try and fix it, but nothing seemed to work so I ripped it out (picrel) and changed the settings to electronic shutter.
What's the difference between a mechanical and an electronic shutter when it comes to quality? Is there a difference only when what you're shooting is moving very fast? Also how much does it cost to replace the shutter plus the work? I'm considering just buying the A7R IV and keeping the current one as reserve.
