Canon R - How bad is EFCS rolling shutter?

Hello,

I read an article with a graph showing Canon R is the worst mirorrless in sensor read speed when using EFCS shutter (possible because it was Canon 1st mirrorless cam).

With EFCS (Silent LV shooting - Mode 1) we don't have the risk of rolling shutter on water moving, like waterfalls, rivers, lakes, etc.? Anyone has enough experience to tell us?

After years I just found many of my landscape photos are blurry because of shutter stock of Canon R mechanical shutter!! Sick :x!

Thanks!

Small format printer for event

I take photos for a large school event as a volunteer. This next year they hope to print and sell my photos as a fund raiser. I’m 100% fine with this. The intent is to print a small photo and sell them for like $5 each. I’m not partial to any brand or particular size, but it should be no larger than 4x6 I’d think. I told them we’d have to find someone to handle the printing and selling since I’ll be busy shooting and processing. Any suggestions?
