Let's hope this becomes a Pentax exclusive feature, right? Maybe this is what they meant by "world's first for FF cameras" on the upcoming release.

I was reading some data sheets for scientific 35mm sensors, with the "global shutter" feature, and I am not sure why,
or for how much longer, the ordinary dslrs will have a focal plane shutter, with all its deficiencies and complexity.

Good video, thanks for sharing!

I remember a class -- strobe lab -- where students would take pictures of bullets flying through fruit. Everyone wanted to take it, but it had very long lab reports. With MIT's typically busy coursework, I never found time for it.

Here's a good document about the types of shutters, including focal plane and global electronic shutters. Good read. http://caspegroup.com/How%20an%20electronic%20shutter%20works%20in%20a%20CMOS%20camera.pdf

Mirrorless cameras introduced an electronic shutter to the consumer market recently, so it will make it into the DSLRs too. But this solution also has their own limitations, mostly due to speed of processing each pixel in a cmos sensor. Here's a good post on that:
