I like having a mechanical shutter too but an EFCS only in the A1 and a 7 FPS shutter in the A7RV need to be improved if the mechanical shutter is going to be worth having to use in all cases.
no, the a7rv does not have the a1 carbon fiber shutter, it can't do 1/400th-1/500th flash sync, and neither can the r5.
you are posting misleading information about sony, again.
"Among the new tech in the Sony Alpha 1 is its 1/400-sec flash sync speed with its mechanical shutter. Although it's the world’s fastest, the flash sync hasn't received the same attention as some of the other advancements in the Alpha 1. But that kind of speed is poised to make the camera a game-changer for anyone shooting dynamic action with strobes – like sports, wedding and portrait photographers." https://alphauniverse.com/stories/alpha-1-why-fast-flash-sync-matters/
I’m talking frames per second for burst capture and your talking shutter speed for flash speed. Two different thing but both important depending on what the usage is. The A1 1/400 s for flash speed is great but it still is an EFCS Only and not a traditional two curtain mechanical shutter so it can affect Bocah depending on aperture. It is carbon fiber that makes it very robust. The A7RV and many other Sonys are true combo types supporting both two curtain and EFCS so it can be used in full mechanical to reduce its impact on Bocah but can cause more self vibration at some shutter speeds than in Electronic First Curtain. The manual and menus only have EFCS enable/disable on A7RV.
All that said I was referring to frame rates and not shutter speed. Sorry for the confusion.
Nope, EFCS needs high shutter speeds to affect bokeh. At 1/400 the bokeh is not going to be affected even at very wide apertures.
Let’s be clear for the mechanical sutter, with and Witt EFCS I am only concerned about frames per second and NOT shutter speed.For stacked sensors I am not concerned since they read so fast and generally rolling shutter is not a problem. So at $3999 I like that the Z8 is stacked sensor. I don’t like that the A7RV is at best 7 frames per second and not more like 12.
