Genuinely curious how phone cameras not having physical shutters is a travesty. Wouldn’t it take up a lot of space? Either making the camera bump even bigger or shrinking the lens elements.

Shutterless shooting has its faults that necessitate a physical shutter when shooting professionally on dedicated cameras. Outside of those circumstances shooting shutterless on modern mirrorless ‘pro’ cameras has few drawbacks.

I could see flickering with some light sources being annoying at times but if you’re running into it as annoyance often a dedicated camera is always an option. Even 10 year old digital cameras wipe the floor of any phone

I meant privacy shutters. Movable plastic or metal pieces capable of stopping light from reaching the camera.

Or, again, no camera at all.
