>>>So, now I'm curious. In your opinion and experience, what's the >>>quietest 35mm SLR?
Actually, I forgot to mention that there's a pretty cool trick that the 1D can do. If I'm out shooting from the hip and it's in a quiet location, I set the camera up for maximum stealth, thus: Eyepiece blind in place. First press and release of the shutter button locks the mirror up. Move into position near subject, when ready: 2nd press of the shutter button and hold exposes the scene (focal plane shutter curtains travel across sensor). Move away from subject, release shutter button and mirror drops down into place. Not a hamster sneezing, more like a fart.
