Comparing Nikon shutter sound

[waday]

Well, maybe a Cardinal or two, because they're just looking for reasons to distrust me.

They're always distrusting. Just look at the way they fly.

D800 is loud, even in Q mode. Doesn't bother me any.
Hell, I put flowmasters on my 65 mustang!!! Bring the noise!!!

The best sound came from a Nikon F2/F3 with a motordrive ... a low frequency but still crisp clack then a whirl as the film advance ... clack-whirl at six times a second. What a sound.

If you want quiet get a Fuji X100T, absolutely soundless.

I never gave a rats ass about what the shutter sounded like or how loud it was in any SLR or DSLR camera I have ever owned.

Other much more important aspects about camera performance took precedence.

Depends on what you are shooting. Lots of times I don't care either. But sometimes I have been told I have to stop shooting because my camera is too loud, which often happens with my Rebel which has a high pitched shutter noise. My more expensive bodies have a silent mode, which you can barely hear.

The **** people concern themselves with amazes me.

what did you say?
I couldn't hear you over my shutter ?!?!

I mean shutter sound can mean some importance if you are shooting street and need some extreme quitness for being discrete, but even still...almost everyone will hear some sort of click.

It's always amusing when people talk about loud "shutter sounds" on SLRs. The shutter curtains hardly make any noise at all, the mirror slapping up and down makes all the racket.

 

[MartinCrabtree]

Yet it is still the sound heard when the shutter is activated.

My D700 is the quietest camera ever !!!!!!

When I am at a birth is the only time I have ever thought about my shutter noise. I have tried the quiet mode, but it doesn't seem to preform as well/fast

Yes, quiet mode feels funny because it separates the mirror movement from the shutter movement. Mirror movement may be slightly damped as well. It sort of plops into place instead of smacking into place if that makes sense. The whole process takes slightly longer.
