Global Shutter—A First for Mirrorless

[Swa]

WTF are you talking about, it’s a stills camera and strobe is going no where in that regard, for most purposes continuous lighting which is where LED is taking over is only useful when shooting video.

If you can’t see the enormous benefits from having a Global shutter in a stills camera then read the article in the OP. It’s revolutionary and will surely be adopted by all stills camera manufacturers at some point in the future, especially now that it appears to have become a mature technology and the glitches have been ironed out. Nevermind that most stills cameras these days are “hybrid” and also excel at video which also benefits from a global shutter.

Ever heard of LED flash? And yes there is still strobe because that's where the investment is but LED is the future and you can control much more.

It's exactly these revolutionary statements that are the problem. Have you read the article I linked? So far global shutter has no useful purpose in still photography but a bunch of negative aspects. Even when it comes to video Blackmagic replaced their global shutter with a better sensor. The ideal would be to turn it on and off as needed but would such a sensor still retain the traditional quality features when in that mode? The EOS R1 and a9 III will determine where this is going or if it will fade into obscurity.

My apologies, I shouldn’t be arguing with one of the densest people on the forum, pissing into the wind.
Carry on

I understand your experience is more theoretical than practical. Continuous LED lighting is great but it's not suitable for all aspects of photography, especially portraiture which you said in another thread was something you want to focus on. There's "still strobe" because it works very well.

All the way to the end, where he concluded:

In an ideal world, cameras would all have global shutters. It makes sense for them to switch every pixel on and off simultaneously. And it would remove the distortion of rolling shutter mode.

It's not just continuous, that will probably blind you. It also functions like traditional strobe but with LED https://www.amazon.com/RBA-Continuos-Strobe-Flash-Photo/dp/B0BSB24TPD

And that is the crux. In that ideal world he describes in rest of the article global shutter would not have the negative aspects but unfortunately it has so a rolling shutter is not going anywhere for now but like I said we will see with the 2 new cameras where it is going.
