I use it as my "fast film" camera, and during a recent childrens musical performance I was shooting relatively close to the stage. During quiet passages in the music the shutter was decidedly audible, so I refrained from shooting then. But in general, the shutter noise does not matter--mostly I shoot in low light in bars or on the street, where it is a non-issue. Nathan "B. D. Colen" wrote: > > Quite is GROSSLY over-rated.
