Sampling 24 mega-pixels in the same clock cycle (or fast enough that no one can tell the difference) is fascinating to me.

And at the $6K price of the camera, I too will wait a bit. But then, I rarely do any "whip pan" movements. But it can only get better as time marches on. But with time marching on, so am I....

@Reyfox

I've done a few lately.

I don't have a big problem with rolling shutter...

... as much as motion blur caused by low frame rate for the action I sometimes try to catch.

@john_dennis, like you, I rarely if ever see rolling shutter the way that you see in video reviews. And then there is the $6K, in addition to the cost of lenses.

I'm sure there will be the usual "influencers" saying this is the next best thing since "sliced bread", drumming up the hype.

I must be getting really old, and with that, cynical. The more "rah rah" I see and read about the next "big" thing, the more I appreciate what I already have.

I'll go with RogerS's comment that it will be great when the technolgy trickles down to mainstream gear (i.e. more affordable in my view) - as it always has done in the automobile industry.

Rolling shutte makes its prescence prominently known in video taken from a train or bus when passing something vertical close by like a vertical street sign or railway gantry when, filmed on to the side, ended up being angled at as much as something like 30% - because of the rolling shutter effect. Rolling shutter options in stabilisers like Mercalli can't fix that.

I'll be very happy to see the end of the rolling shutter effect.

Awww, Jello Shutter was my favorite effect ever.

No more hypnotic airplane propellers? I feel like I've lost a friend . . .

A friend bought the original G9, (errrrr A9) when it was announced, while I bought the RX10-IV. He gave me a lot of crap. I left him a voicemail when I saw the G9-III (errrr A9) announcement. He hasn't called me back.
