Peter,

That "silent" rewinder on the A2 has its downside as I discovered while
opening the back on my A2 while it was still rewinding.  This happened
during the excitement of a wedding shoot.  Needless to say, the bridal
party wasn't excited about reshooting the better part of a 36 exposure
roll and being late for the reception.  Fortunately, none of the actual
wedding ceremony pictures were on the roll.  That was the final straw
(after a malfunctioning flash off-camera cord and other EOS glitches). 
I have returned to all mechanical cameras (except for my beloved Hexar).
