This feature alone is very impressive and useful. Gear list: Canon 5D3, 24-105L, 100L macro, 70-200L 2.8 IS II, 580EXII; Gitzo GT1541T, Gitzo GM3551, Markins Q3T.

There is the mirror, the shutter and the reset of the shutter. So 8 times every second, the mirror has to flip up, the shutter releases, the mirror flips down then the shutter resets. It's mostly just mirror noise. That can make quite a bit of noise. I would think that a mirror moving faster would hit with more force since f=ma. You really can't hear the shutter reset motor. It's all much quieter than the rebels though. I wonder if the 100% viewfinder size has an impact. You can always use silent shooting mode though. That locks the mirror up and you only hear the shutter which is really quiet. The only way to get quieter is an electronic shutter. But then you have other issues that degrade IQ. I am serious....and don't call me Shirley.

I actually had to google to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the 5d because the mirror was so loud. It was a really noticeable difference in noise (but the picture quality is far superior so I'm sure I'll get over it!) Canon 5d Mark II/Canon 40D/ Canon 17-40L/ Tamron 28-75/ Canon 85mm 1.8/Canon 50mm 1.4/Canon 55-250/ Canon 580 EX II

You have to put up with a somewhat longer viewfinder blackout since the mirror actuation is much slower. 5Dc, 5D III, 24-70L, 17-40L, 24-105L, 70-200 f/4L, 100 macro, 135L, 50 1.4 | NEC LCD3090

Then with technology, they made them quiet. Like the 10D for example. Then it is like they just completely overlooked it with the new cameras. Except Leica M they were quite and they are still very, very quite.
