Dislike of 40D shutter "clunk".

whats wrong with the sound of the 20D.. handy to hear its working over the roar of engines at a motorsport event...

Yea, I also love the 20D adding canon balls blasting off during the July 4th concert of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture...

You can make the 40D shoot almost completely silently.


Or compare lots of Canon shutter noises.

i always liked the sound on my minolta srt 102. its loud but i seem to like the fact that my camera can have a voice of its own. so when i got my canon 40d. i am still as happy

That link appears to only compare the shutter "sounds" not their comparative volume. The sound they have for the XT and 30D don't seem to correspond to my experiences either.

You should hear the 1D 2n. It sounds like there's some kind of heavy duty industrial process taking place inside it every time I take a picture. Actually it's pretty cool except when I'm trying to take bird photographs.
