You do not want a shutter with its attendent electronic motors, escapements,
magnetic switches, etc.., you want a manually closeable curtain.  Quite a
difference.......  in cost and reliability.....

And that is the reason for the shutter , to protect the CCD when a lens is
removed. IMHO, the reason for non-interchangable lenses, they don't put a
shutter in at all- saves money.
