Ok, but I will just agree to disagree as I think AI is designed to tell us what we want to hear and not confront us when our hopes are too high. In my view, AI is exactly the wrong thing to ask about such things. I think we are beginning to see strong evidence for that. Take that for what it is, my opinion about AI.
My opinion is also that neither Canon nor anyone can build a 39 MP stacked BSI 3ms APS-C camera and make a profit selling it at $2,500 or even $2,900. If you disagree that is fine. We can just agree to disagree and I think we will see before long what Canon actually does....Show more →
I think maybe back-sided illuminati, but not stackable would be $2500. I'd rather pay more for full stacking, but it's not likely the camera will be too upscale.
Your poll is missing the main options to buy at higher cost or regardless of cost.
Due to the whacky forum code, that page opened with me logged out yet I am logged in on this page.

EFCS is ~3ms and 14 bit at 15fps
Why would you bother with 30fps/12bit/30ms electronic if there was no motion
I never answered this question and there is an answer. When you shoot at shutter speeds exceeding 1/1000 the bokeh is affected by the slight difference in distance between the shutter and the sensor in EFCS and looks rougher. At those high shutter speeds you should not use EFCS unless you don't care about the bokeh looking funky. In those situations electronic shutter works just fine as long as there is little movement in the scene (e.g., portraits) and if often a good choice as electronic shutter allows higher shutter speeds than the mechanical shutter. If you use really fast lenses (e.g., f/1.2) wide open in bright light electronic shutter can be an excellent option.

Its good to know that that electronic 30fps matters for still objects where bokeh is affected
For my wildlife usually at large mm reach, bokeh is a luxury item to worry about compared to shutter speed, sensor read speed distortion, image stabilization, defraction and composition.
