Rick and Lucas, Thanks for the replies. I noticed that in the reviews that the istD did not sound the same. And that the tests were done in a very empty sounding room. (a lab maybe?) The review tests are really frame rate tests against the "std" C/N cameras. I agree that my film slrs are louder probably because the mirror is bigger. My istDS has a high pitched sound that I really notice, but then, it's up in front of my face!
