The banding on the EOS R when using silent shutter is extremely disruptive to taking good photos. It's to the point where I barely trust it under any sort of artificial lighting. Sometimes photos that, at first glance on the back of the camera, seem to be ok exhibit subtle banding once I get the chance to look at them up close, effectively ruining the photo.
On rare occasions, even using first curtain electronic shutter (known as mode 1 in the EOS R silent LV shooting) still exhibits banding. Then, turning off electronic first curtain puts twice the wear and tear on the shutter as you would get on a DSLR.
Is there any potential for having a global shutter that reads off the whole sensor at once implemented into a stills camera, or are we still many years out from this? I can't help but feel that the current crop of mirrorless cameras (not just Canon) have a really serious flaw with banding under certain types of artificial lighting. It would be so nice to get to a point where we can just be completely rid of mechanical shutters, but it seems that we're nowhere close to that right now.
