The trend now is to use high speed video and take thousands of exposures over several minutes, selecting the best few and layering them with the best of the best.  An interesting technique which uses software to determine the image quality.  Comparing thousands of very similar images would be very tedious but also subjective and over time the visual comparison would wander this way and that.  Perhaps the Zs will develop the electronic shutter sufficiently to allow such techniques to be used.  Currently I understand the electronic shutter is basic.  To take thousands of exposures in a couple of minutes will require the process to be perfected.  Then the mechanical shutter would likely be redundant.

Yes it is like many things these days, skill and good technique is dumbed down so any 'monkey' can take the image or do the job.   I see it in many different trades.
