Sony Announces the Sony A7 V

[EOS 4 Life]

It loses quite a bit of DR when using the electronic shutter (although it uses 14 bit in ES mode).

Photographic Dynamic Range versus ISO Setting

There is a rumor that it does DGO in mechanical shutter mode.

which is unfortunate but the internet meme has a lot of truth to it

I don't know if I find it funny or sad... but quite true regardless, even if, realistically, no one is going to make a lot of money reselling photo gear

Now when the dynamic range results for A7V are out, do we know if canon has access to the same type of technology(simulateous readout at two gain steps) and might bring it in a future camera or firmware?

The R1 could easily do it without sacrificing speed.
I doubt they would sacrifice the mechanical shutter performance in other cameras.
IMHO it is a brilliant move to get us to keep using the mechanical shutter.
If we stick to electronic, then these cameras could last nearly forever and we won't need to buy new ones.

I believe that Canon released 2 x DGO bodies in the C300iii and C70 - both primarily video. Not sure if DGO is used for stills in either.
I assume that Canon holds patents for implementation of DGO as well.
