Big news in photography circles this week as Sony announced the a9 III digital mirrorless camera. It is the world's first full-frame camera with a global shutter. Why is this important? According to DPReview, global shutter allows for "the elimination of the rolling shutter distortion effect often seen on video and with slow electronic (progressive) shutters", "eliminates the banding that can occur with progressive shutters under flickering lights" and that "a global shutter can sync with flash at almost any shutter speed. With global shutter it's the duration of the flash burst that becomes the limitation, rather than the length of time it takes to close the shutter". I just assumed all that stuff was sorted with digital cameras by now.
