The only reason I like the E-shutter is to reduce wear-n-tear on the shutter mechanism. Some quick ergonomic and general impressions comparing the Z5 to my A9. Startup is much quicker with the Z, maybe by half a second. The difference is like booting up your computer with an SSD vs a normal hard drive. My Sony bodies can be painfully slow sometimes, especially when you want to knockout a quick photo. Also the 4.5 FPS is slow enough, that you don't really need UHS-II cards in the memory slots. Fast UHS-I cards work well enough. Nikon is probably using the same hardware as the Z6. I'm sure the camera could go faster especially with UHS-II compatible card slots. The D780 for example can shoot quite fast with almost unlimited buffer. Handling is much nicer with the Z5 and the Z-mount looks massive next to the E-mount.I'll test it out this weekend to see how much I like it once I receive all my adapters. Currently there are no native lenses I really care for. Either they're too expensive or too boring for my taste.</blockquote>
