So the global shutter will have no benefit today for most users.
In the future though it means we can do away with the mechanical shutter which in theory means smaller, cheaper, more reliable cameras.
However the capturing photos when you hold the focus button down feature will I think be genuinely useful for pretty much everyone. Especially in family situations with kids, pets etc.

It completely eliminates rolling shutter. Now, is it a benefit that is worth paying $6,000 for? That is a good question! For most users, probably not.

Plus being able to shoot with flash at any speed will indeed benefit tons of amateurs who will be able to do away with the stupid artificial limitations present for the last 150 years

- jiggawatts 3y ago> In the future though it means we can do away with the mechanical shutter The future is a year ago: The Nikon Z9 and Z8 cameras have no mechanical shutter, and their electronic shutter speed is so fast that there is no practical issues capturing even fast motion.
