>>4215259Electronic shutters are, unless you spend $5000 on the newest canony alpha 5, really dogshit for shooting flying birds, sports, and anything with flash, because the real shutter speed is somewhere between 1/15 to 1/60 depending on how fancy your camera is and the scanned area just gets smaller with faster exposures, resulting in heavy shutter distortion. It's a lot like the flash sync speed on mechanical shutters, where any faster is just a smaller and smaller slit so you have to pan or shoot against the scan direction if you're photographing racecars.
However, things that don't move that much are good to go with E-shutters, and they have 0 mechanical wear, so if you want to stack photos or do 15,000 shot time lapses E shutter is king since the subject won't be moving very fast. Just make sure whatever you buy has fully mechanical shutter, electronic first curtain shutter, and electronic shutter all as options so you're never gimped if you want to try something as basic as using a flash or taking a photo under LED lights.
