"Besides the pesky battery thing... what is the disadvantage of an
electronic shutter?"

None! Electronically timed shutters are less mechanically complex and
have superior accuracy. I was around during the period when
manufacturers went from mechanical to electronic timing, and you could
really see the difference in magazine reviews.

By the way, there is, strictly speaking, no such thing as an electronic
shutter on a film camera. The term should be "electronically timed"
shutter.
