Actually neither have a mechanical shutter. They are very quiet when shooting
(when the synthesized sound is shut off), the only noise is the aperture
stopping down and that's also the reason the finder may become darker. The E-20
was able to capture in a progressive scan mode for high speed shooting but
could be switched to back to regular low noise interlaced scan mode limiting it
to 1/640 sec max shutter speed like the E-10.
I read somewhere that the aperture is the shutter--(leaf shutter)? and the behavior of the ones I've played with would seem to be consistent with the behavior as described. It would also explain the 1/640 second top speed...
