A noisy shot is better than no shot. Of course, the M8 makes more racket than an M7 so you still might get thrown out after the first shot, but hey, I'm trying to be positive about the M8 here.....
I used my M8 at a classic music recital (violin/piano) and audience members sitting nearby said they did not hear me shooting ...they were surprised
I use a 1/2 body leather case which I think dampens some of the noise ...while noisier than film Ms, the M8 is a relatively quiet camera
