As we seem to be constantly bombarded with this question from a Sponsor, I can no longer resist the urge to reply :)

 

The D-Lux 4 can be rendered totally silent, thank-you very much; no beep, no shutter sound.

(But it would have been nice to have the sound of a screw-mount Wetzlar-made Leica firing among the options :p )

 

If your camera shutter is not totally silent, the sound can always be "hidden" with a discreet cough :)

Sorry, just feeling a bit mischievous.

 

All of my M's - quiet enough to use in court, according to the folklore.

 

My G10, SD780, and iPhone - silent.

 

My 501CM - noisy, but in a reassuring kind of way.

 

My SLRs, - as noisy as you would expect.

 

And for a surprise - my Nikonos IVa, surprisingly quiet.

 

So, go take some pictures.

Normally I dont need a silent camera, but there are some special situations where it really is important. Here is the list of my cameras:

 

Sony W12 - silent

Canon G1 - silent

Canon G7 - silent

Samsung L85 - silent

Nikon P2 - silent

(Yes, I know, I probably got way too much compact cameras :D)

 

Voigtlander Vito B:D - nearly silent

Nikon F3 HP - middle loud

Leica R8 - noisy

 

Fuji S5Pro - as loud as the R8 but another noise

Nikon D2x - very noisy ( loud "clang")

 

Olympus 35-SP - nearly silent

 

Best regards

Daniel

So that was you I heard coughing from just down the road. I was using my M6 on Wednesday I hope I didn't disturb you
