For me, when the cheetah chases the gazelle: It happens after spending many many hours in the bush and then it is over in 6 seconds. At that point, 60 fps matters a LOT. But yes, 60 fps is for very select moments. My photography revolves around those moments.
Obviously true, but no doubt will not sink in to the majority of influencers nor unfortunately forum dwellers either. And as camera tech matures even more, will become even more true. What is somewhat mind-boggling to me is the anger a "minor" upgrade produces among so many. What it means is that the camera you have is essentially as good as it gets, and you just saved lots of money. That wouldn't make me angry.
I guess I don't know what you were trying to say, then, because you refer to Canon "letting" Sony get hype with their new GS sensor without an upgrade to one of its own. That phrasing suggests some sort of intentional response.
Likewise, I didn't say you did, I'm just commenting on the timeline of semiconductor fab and design.
It encompasses the earth and shoots everything and everyone every second. Then you only need to crop.What is a "global sensor"?
You already have it. With digital, it's always e-shutter, only in most cameras it's slow so there's a physical curtain on top.
The Z8 and Z9 sensor readouts are 3.7ms. In 2024 those should no longer be the fastest. I reacon Canon has surpassed that speed by a lot. Since they say emphatically they are not going with a global shutter. In other words, they've reached readout speeds nearing zero ms.
I'm not commenting on global shutter or not, merely the timeline required to "let" or "not let" a competitor get hype from a given product. No sensor product imminent from anyone will be a response to something announced 17 weeks ago.
Have you used an R6II or R3? They have a setting called, “High Frequency Anti Flicker”. It detects the flicker rate of the lights and sets a shutter speed accordingly. Any shutter speed. One person had it set a shutter speed of 1/53.8 because of multiple light sources with different flicker rates. It found a speed that would work without banding from either source.
Canon has already dropped the 30 minute recording limit for the R6 II, so I don't see why they would not do that for the R5 IIThe reason for the 30 minute limit is that exceeding 30 minutes subjects the camera to a worldwide, WTO-mandated added 5.4% tax. However, this tax has been progressively dropping, and soon will have no impact on price.

Digital sensors use electronic shutter every time you shoot in any shutter mode. E-shutter is just the normal readout process. If it's slow (which is the case for most of the modern sensors except a few very recent ones), then there's a physical curtain that works on top.
