james.liam Posted August 22, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) My Safari arrived a few weeks back but I was away for a long stretch so it sat silently awaiting my return; had second-guessed the sale of my truly wonderful M10 as I spent the last 2 months with an R9. DAMN, is the shutter ever quiet!! Going from an M9M to an M10 was a revelation in subdued noise, but this is a leap beyond. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kilmister Posted August 22, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 22, 2019 I was in Porto (northern Portugal) last October and spotted a Leica shop there. I went in and asked to see the M10-P. The very helpful staff brought out a demonstration piece and let me handle it. When I pressed the shutter it surprised me how quiet it was. I took out my M240-P and its shutter sounded really loud compared to the M10-P. Earlier this year I saw an advertisement for an almost new M10-P and bought it at a huge discount compared with a new one. Then I sold my M240-P. What a lovely quiet camera! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhrads Posted August 22, 2019 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2019 My M9M sounds like an antique clock compared to the M10-P!! I shot them side by side and was shocked! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Olivier Posted August 23, 2019 Share #6 Posted August 23, 2019 Let's hope the M10-M will have the M10-P shutter sound. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only spook them, if they see me pointing the camera. The moment I take the photo, it's already to late to spook I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
genji Posted September 8, 2019 Share #8 Posted September 8, 2019 I was on the brink of purchasing an M10 earlier in the year when the salesman in the Leica Store said: “I’d just like to show you one more thing”. He retrieved an M10-P from the display case and encouraged me to compare the sound of the M10-P’s shutter with that of the M10. Going with the M10-P was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made.

Reciprocity Posted September 13, 2019 Share #9 Posted September 13, 2019 I'm now in the M10-P club, sold my M10. This thing is even quieter than either my M3 or M6, pretty amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even many indoor environments do the same. A person with his camera to his face would still evoke attention in a setting of hearing impaired senior citizens. What's the point?

I am photographer in residence at an acclaimed classical music school, silence is desired, well timed very quiet operation is mandatory. 2. One of my main long time clients is an international organization that often convenes top cabinet level white house officials with global interests. These meetings are covered in documentary style and require as low key an approach as possible and that very much includes shutter noise. The M10 was just ok at this due to the sharp shutter noise, the M10-P is far better and a Nikon Z6 with a super sharp prime like the 50mm 1.8S in silent mode is fabulously perfect. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reciprocity Posted September 13, 2019 Share #14 Posted September 13, 2019 Just now, lykaman said: How on earth did they manage before "near silent or silent shutters"? In the case of music, bulky sound blimps. In the case of the high stakes meetings, far less good images made and or less time in the room. The deliverables I gave my clients this year in using near silent or totally silent cameras were quite a bump up over previous years. It's a *very* liberating thing when working in these genres. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indergaard Posted September 14, 2019 Share #18 Posted September 14, 2019 Imagine if it didn't have any shutter sound at all. It would be amazing wouldn't it? Oh wait, the Sony A9 already has been doing that for nearly two years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted September 14, 2019 Share #19 Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) For some reason I don't want a camera to be completely soundless. I need some kind of confirmation that I have pressed the shutter button. But it should be very subtle and discreet, so preferably only I can hear it. For a large part, I choose cameras based on tactile emotions. The shutter sound is part of this whole package.

Haptic feedback at the end of the exposure through the shutter release, or possibly just a blink of a rear LCD might do the trick. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
