"Cool, still NO reason to be a total tit about.
Lots of other members have presented their frustration with missing specs or features in this and many other threads without resorting to using tired terms like "crippling".
BTW I am a software engineer that works with firmware all the time and while you might think these 'issues' are simple fixes there is likely a perfectly good reason they are not being addressed. I have no idea what those reasons are because I have never looked at Canon's code.
I will speculate about the 20FPS limit using the silent shutter though:
Maybe you should read my post properly before replying. If you had done so, you might have noticed that I placed the word "crippling" in quote marks, thus indicating that it is not a statement by me, but a term that I contest...
You might also consider your language. Calling someone a "total tit" does you NO credit whatsoever.
At least you've managed to come up with a possible explanation why there are no slower burst speeds than 20fps in electronic shutter, which sounds reasonable.
But no reasoning or speculation has been forthcoming regarding my other complaint i.e. that bracketing is not possible with electronic shutter, so perhaps you can think of a reason?
Any reason why say a bracketed series of 3 or 5 shots can't be shot at the 20fps burst speed? Such a facility would enable focus bracketing and exposure bracketing (especially for HDR) to be shot with minimal opportunity for the subject or camera to move between frames, so it's a strange omission.
Personally I'm still inclined to think that both "issues" are due to lack of forethought at the design stage, and yes, I do find that frustrating, and adequate grounds for a rant.
Cheers.

- I think it is due at least in part to the readout speed of the sensor, any slower than 20FPS and they will introduce banding so they locked the FPS for the best possible results.
