The most common type of shutter has two curtains. Mechanical shutters are found in all DSLRs and most mirrorless cameras today.

First time I have been excited about a camera product in a long time.Exploring Shutter Actuations: How Does a Mechanical Shutter Work? Solid, quick (very important when you are shooting rescue dogs who rarely sit still) and felt wonderful. When I took my first shots, I could immediately tell there was a major difference, even from my Canon 7D II. I have a collection of canon flashes and can easily overcome this but you will need a flash or some lighting if you get this camera. One small disadvantage for the average photographer is there is no on-board flash. If you have moved beyond and want to take control - this camera is awesome and does very well in low light. If you are getting a camera to have the camera do all of the work, I would say look at a simpler camera - this one is not for you. Having come from a Canon 7D II, I am very used to the menus and settings so there was a very small learning curve. I finally took the plunge and upgrades to my first full frame camera. I shoot a lot of pet portraits, dogs for rescue groups, landscapes and weddings. They also have waited over 4 years to update it when other companies make a new edition every 2 or so.Ī lot of people are itching to leave Canon/Nikon and I don't blame them. They also left out GPS and wifi which I don't care about because they did a terrible job implimenting that in the 6D anyway. If you're at the minimum distance, in low light when focus and recompos wont work the 5D3 might get the shot but a lot of the time +/- 2EV won't find it. You can focus and recompose if you're not close to your subject with the 6D in low light and you'll nail focus better. Well that's fine I guess it makes that difference marginal. On the 5D Mk 3 it's a +/-2 EV (Thats worse than the 6D) but it makes up for it supposedly with more AF Points. On the 6D the center focus point is +/- 3EV (focuses will in low contrast situations like a dimly lit room) I bought the Mk3 for improved autofocus over the 6D but really it doesn't do that well. I think holding back tech poisons a brand.
