Default Does a digital camera still use a lens shutter or focal plane shutter?

With the new technology in digital imaging and sensors, does a digital
camera utilize a physical lens shutter (or focal plane shutter in an
SLR) to let the light passes to the sensor? Or, can the image sensor
now be electronically turn on and off to allow for the light to
register in the sensor?
Thanks for info.

DSLR uses a shutter just like SLR. That is why they have difficulty showing
preview on LCD screen.

Compact cameras have no problem with preview. Educated guess says they have
no mechanical shutter.

Within 2 years, the majority of new DSLRs will have live preview.

Go figure.
