In other words, If you are shooting at 1/300th of a second after hearing what seems to be a very slow shutter actuation, I find myself constantly checking to make sure I'm shooting at my predetermined shutter speed and then checking and rechecking the image in the LCD.

Now take a 70-200 White lens and attach it to the black brick and you aren't in stealth mode anymore.
Thanks William--that was exactly my sense as well. It's not all that silent...
