I have heard the Canon A2 is quiet mainly because it uses belts rather than gear to gear connection in its motor drive. That doesn't sound like something Nikon would put into a high end camera though I can't think of a mechanical reason why it would be a compromise. I know belts do break or stretch but that should be cheap to fix. David Johnson
