[font color=\'#000000\']Obviously, the audible noise aspect matters for Wedding Ceremony shooters or Theatrical photogs on a movie set.
Noise does not necessarily imply vibration problems in the image (usually, but not always).
For the two applications I just described, MLU eliminates the vibration, not the noise. But MLU eliminates the camera from being able to take candid frames.
Ever been stared down by an angry Minister or Rabbi?
And, I suspect, Wedding jocks will buy the 20D in droves.
The 20D is smaller and lighter. There is less damping from the frame and body. Strange thing is that the mirror is smaller as well to accomodate the EF-S mount. One would have thought there would have been less kinimatic reaction. I would not have expected the 20D to turn out louder due to the "girlie-man" mirror. (I just had to say something controvertial.)[/font]
