Well, it was quiet, but it's almost impossible for a focal plane shutter

Larry,
Have you tried infrared flash for this stuff.
Long ago a friend gave me some shots he captured for the yearbook
at a dark music weekend. Compromising photos he conveniently 'lost'.

I was curious just what quality I could obtain out of the X2 at its highest
sensitivity settings so I did a quick test, from ISO 12500 to ISO 800.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25268645/x2-noise/index.html
I'm pretty happy with what I see, even at ISO 12500.
enjoy!
