HI Doug,
I well understand in your case with wildlife photography no matter how faint 
the camera sound many birds and critters have incredible hearing, other wise 
they might not survive too long in the wilds. Therefore it would be great to 
have a completely silent camera for your photography.

And quite frankly I constantly marvel at your ability to catch so many with 
such precise photography.

However, when I hear those bleating about camera noise while photographing 
people I think they tend to over do it some what. Because if you're shooting 
and listening to the peripheral sounds you learn to shoot as the background 
sounds are the greatest.

Somewhat as shooting people while they are involved in doing something and 
their bodies and thoughts are completely unaware of the camera.
