> I'd argue that the Nikon Z9 is a much better camera if not wanting flash sync due to its lower base ISO.
Yeah. I think a lot of people focus too much on those "high end" specs and too little about small, practical, quality of life things.
I remember how I instantly liked Fuji X100 for its built in ND filter. Yes, you can screw a filter on by yourself. Then you suddenly find yourself on a sunny beach and you wish you had your photo bag with you.
Not saying global shutter isn't nice feature, but that 250 base ISO can be a bit of a hassle depending on what kind of photography you do just like not everybody is going to benefit from the new shutter.
The faster available shutter speeds will compensate for the faster base ISO except where the superior dynamic range of a lower ISO is needed or when a longer shutter speed is simultaneously desired.
They're pretty essential for any situation where you can't just stop down the exposure in the camera. If you want a long exposure shot of some crashing waves on a bright day for instance, you might not be able to just increase the shutter speed or narrow the aperture without ruining the intended photo.
I personally like to make dreamy photos wide open with relatively long shutter to accentuate movement. Some of it in full sunlight. Yes, ND filter is essential then.
