Speaking of bad camera/shutter sound effects, I was watching some detective show with half an eye last night as I was working on my trusty computer. Well a character was using a SLR to take some photographs. The shutter noise was some sort of digital imitation of a motor drive. The camera appeared to be an Olympus OM1 or OM2, no drive in evidence.

You know when you're at the movies and there's a sequence in the film where a photographer is snapping away - say at some function or other - and there's an off-camera sound of a still camera motor drive? Sometimes they sound crap and sometimes they're too slow or too fast etc.
If you could hear the most perfect sound of a film still camera motor drive, it would be the motor drive for the Pentax MX!
