If you're in the closet with the lights off and your eyes closed, how can you
tell anything about the content of a photograph?  Does the addition of the
tape recorder, manual or automatic, help in determining the overall image
quality of the photograph that you're looking at in the dark with your eyes
closed?

I don't mean to start a flame war or hurt anyone's feelings, but image content
and quality is far more important than arguing over which model is quieter. A
quiet camera is only one element of unobtrusive photography. One's composure
and professionalism is at least as important as the particular box in use. The
best photographs come from the hard work of gaining access to and the trust of
a subject rather than sneaking images with quiet camera or the absence of a
flash.
