Where on earth did you get this nonsense?

They already have them in P&S cameras that don't compromise anything in
image
quality. High-speed full-frame captures up to 1/40,000 of a second without
any
scanned bands of the sensor being read off the chip, as used to exist in
all
DSLR electronics. See this photo for DSLR sensor readout technology at
work
with high-speed objects.

It's not bad enough that focal-plane shutters have their own
image-distorting
problems, but many of their sensors have this problem too.

The curved bars are the propeller being slowly scanned electronically in
horizontal banks across the sensor. That doesn't happen in any P&S cameras
(that
I know of).

You people invent the silliest things to perpetuate on the net. No doubt
due to
your experiences with the lame electronic architecture and hardware of
your
DSLRs. You need to get out more and get away from that ancient camera
design.

I wonder what other technology you're going to steal from P&S cameras to
try to
make your DSLRs fully functional one day.

You talk as if DSLRs and P&Ss are some sort of competing armies, fighting to
the death. This is nonsense. Camera companies are not stupid. The
appropriate technology is used in the appropriate place. As technology
advances camera design will change in the interest of improving capture and
image quality (and putting money into the manufacturer's pockets).
