Most people wouldn’t even know or care about global shutter or rolling shutter.

Most of us don’t “hate” Sony. I’m a Pentax user who doesn’t “hate” Canon or Nikon either. I just shrug off your hyperbole and go on with my life. Nothing you say affects my life.

Typical Hawgster "expert" observation, and as usual its dead wrong. We, and likely including you, have enjoyed the advantage of commonly available global shutters for around a century. Yes, its fun to play the Grumpy Olde Geezer, but do try to know your schidt before running yer yap.

Thankfully, Sony and others know enough and care enough to produce revolutionary photographic advances.

In time with more models on the market at different price ranges, more will know and care about it and be able to take advantage of its creative advantages.

Cheers and best to you.

And BTW, Canon, Panasonic, and others are also working on global shutter consumer cameras. So expect to see other global shutter fullframe and APS-C and micro 4/3rds cameras in the coming years.

People will know about and care about global shutters and rolling shutter when their favorite brand has a global shutter camera out in their price range, that is for sure. You cant turn back the march of progress in camera technology and performance. That doesn't mean to you have to embrace it, but many will.

Cheers and best to you.

We've also been taking beautiful pictures on film. Some innovations might not make every picture better, but they might make the better pictures easier to get. Technical capabilities are actually used to make photographs. Believe it or not.

Not against new technology. For those who want it, great. Just saying that the latest Tech not necessary to take great photos.

But there are some photos, great or otherwise, that you can not take without certain "tech".

Sorry, but that is a ludicrous statement. I have been doing this as a Worldwide Award Winning pro for 50 years and as a longtime Professor of Photography at a state university. I have used every format, brand and kind of camera since a teen in the 60's.

Every single technological advance in photography and camera gear in those past 60 years has expanded our picture taking creative possibilities, just a fact. And for pros in a highly competitive business, any competitive advantage that more capable gear gives us is welcome.

You can choose to understand and embrace those greater creative possibilities that advances in tech give to photographers, or you can be happy to just stay in your comfort zone and reject using anything more than what was available decades ago. If that is all you want and all you need to know, fine.

I choose to make the most of all possible creative photographic mediums, formats, gear that I can get my hands on.

From teaching 35mm B&W film classes, to teaching Photojournalism classes, to teaching Digital Photography classes, I introduce to them and encourage all my students to avail themselves of all the latest available photography tech, as well as teaching them the basics and foundations of creative photography.

Global shutters in consumer cameras is just the latest tool to help us reach new horizons in our creative visions.

Cheers and best to you.

Exactly,

And, in the broadest sense, that would apply to all photos ever, past, present, and future.
