What happens when you trip the shutter in a digital SLR?? Obviously the film doesn't advance but do you still get the mirror slap noise?

I'm looking for a quiet camera and it looks as though I'll have to go backward in time to an old viewfinder camera or forward to the present to a viewfinder digital.


Cannon is claiming the XTi will have sensor noise less than or equal to the XT. They accomplished this by slimming down the filler areas between pixels and making the microlenses smaller. This allows the smaller pixels to achieve the same S/N ratio as the larger pixels used in the XT.

I too was considering a 300D, but now that the XTi is announced, I think I'll wait a few weeks and go with the more modern features available in that model, DigicII processor, self-cleaning sensor, magnifier option on the LCD (like the 20Da),

This is the second time I've seen this mentioned but I see nothing in the previews so far that confirms this.
