Greetings, The photodo site (http://www.photodo.com) that is "More about the Nikon F100" appears to be written by someone who handled the camera for about 10 minutes. The thing that strikes me though is that the person comments TWICE, "it is very silent." I like the sound of that :) The *only* thing I like about my fiancee's EOS A2 more than my N90 is how very quiet it is.
