Digital camera with CCD electronic shutter

[Kaspian]

What is an CCD electronic shutter? I'm thinking about getting This camera and it has that type of shutter.

Thanks in advance.

This explains it with an animated drawing. It is good. Nikon D70 also uses it.

Or more precisely, identical Google searches turn up similar results.

Googled for CCD Electronic Shutter.

"great minds think alike" "identical Google searches turn up similar results" LOL:laugh: I've already been to that site. I did a google search before I posted the question.LOL

To be honest, I was just expecting someone to say the CCD shutter is either :thumbsup: or :thumbsdown: I need a camera with an optical zoom of 10x or 12x. Everything else will just be extra. I dont want to pay extra for something that I will not use. I dont know if I'll need the CCD shutter or not. I've never had a camera that had one.

It sounds like it'd be a good idea; the review I read at Steve's Digicams didn't mention it though. At least not that I caught when I read it.

Put it this way - if it were not :thumbsup:, then Nikon would not use it in it's current SLR flagship, the D70. It does allow for much faster exposure speeds than a mechanical shutter.
