Yeah, I saw those too, which is what caused me to mention it in the first place. Among all of my hopes and dreams for this camera, an even slightly quiet shutter wasn't among them, so that's a huge and unexpected bonus for me. I always figured my dream camera was an m43 camera (for the availability of fast-ish glass) with a flip up screen, a built-in evf (ideally without the hump, but evidently we can't quite have it ALL), great controls, useable at ISO 3200, and with a quiet shutter. I thought this was gonna hit on all but the quiet shutter - if it does that TOO, jeez, what else to even dream about???
Although someone suggested that this is likely at least partially a result of the weather-sealing, which makes sense. But which also makes me wonder if it will be AS quiet with a non-sealed lens??? I'd guess maybe not, but I can't imagine the lens is where most of the shutter noise is coming out. Regardless, I'm psyched...
