The E-10 has a beam splitting prism rather than a mirror so that it makes vitually no noise. Consequnelty, one of the options is to pick a "shutter noise" as a confirmation signal. The noise level is great, and I've nnot ntoiced any picture problems. I wonder why more DSLR folks don't do this, unless the cost is outrageous.
What I find funny is that adding a mount should not have pushed this camera to well over $2000. Olympus and a real shot at a maket, but it seems like they are making a really bad decision.

The *ist D I saw (and heard) at Pentax Day featured a funny "click&whirr" sound (like that of shutter + winder of a film camera).
