Sony were a bit slow to include electronic shutters but are getting there now (a6300, a6500, a7s onwards, a7RII onwards, a9 and today the a7III), though they can be a bit reticent about using the facility to deliver faster shutter speeds than the mechanical shutter in some models, Panasonic has been including them for ages (so early in fact that the first few models with them were a bit limited when using electronic shutter, but no such problems now) and Olympus started including the facility between Panasonic's introduction and Sony's takeup of the idea (and there are two Olympuses which allow full use of electronic flash with the electronic shutter). It's a fairly typical/average implementation, though they were the first to provide a 1/32,000 top speed when everyone else topped out at 1/16,000. Yes - their mirrorless models now pretty much all have the option of electronic shutter (I'd have to double-check that the X-A20 does, but it probably will). One area where the Fuji X does well with the electronic shutter system in theirs with the limitations of that process. Unfortunately, as an interchangeable lens camera, the M50 needs a focal plane shutter, which is far louder due to its design and operation. Those cameras have an interlens or behind-lens leaf shutter, which is inherently very quiet. That type of integration into the M would have been very nice. The Powershot G9 and G15 have a very quiet shutter. Look how long it took to get rudimentary 4k. I would love to see an electronic shutter but I think a feature like that is at least 1-2 generations away in a Canon APS-C camera. I am not sure what that means but "nearly silent" isn't silent. One reviewer on Youtube said it was a nearly silent shutter option. I will need to see a video of it operating before believing it is electronic. The electronic shutter can’t apparently be selected in any other shooting mode, which feels like a missed opportunity. Frustratingly, though, it’s only available from a fully automated mode that’s accessed from the SCN position on the exposure-mode dial. Canon has also included a silent shooting mode that uses a fully electronic shutter – the first time this has appeared on a EOS camera.
