There are many situations in which acoustical camera noise is problematical (Asher has told us of his challenges in concert hall work).
Of course, non-SLR cameras avoid a major source of acoustical noise, and today we have a number of those to choose from. Still, most of our "high image performance" cameras do follow the SLR paradigm.
However, there seems no doubt but that "mirrorless" formulations for high performance cameras will shortly become increasingly available. For Canon fanciers, that may be as a new branch of the EOS platform, or it may be the premise of the "next generation" of high-performance cameras.
But that still leaves us with the sound of a mechanical optical shutter, especially when the focal plane form is used.
But there are of course the "electronic shutter" modalities. I don't know nearly enough about to what extent is fully electronic shutter operation practical (for capture of the actual image) for various sensor designs.
I'd be glad to hear the thoughts of my colleagues here on this matter.
So, Asher, there is now an EF mount for the RED Epic. Up to 120 frames/s, "every one a 'still' ".
Best regards,
Doug
