He commented that my Metz 60 flash was louder when it fired than my K7 was. In my experience, the only dslr-like camera that can beat the low loudness of a K-7 is a non-dslr camera. The Leica M9 is a bit better, but only provided you enable its delayed shutter cocking option. Otherwise it has a disturbing bog of a noise, reminiscent of film advance.

-- From: "Larry Colen" Subject: Re: Interval timer, also loud shutter and aikido workshop One thing that I've noticed is that Beau's D700 is hella loud. It makes the K-x seem whisper quiet in comparison. I was at a belly dance event a couple of weeks back.
