well, those would be worse, given the use of a pentamirror instead of  
prism, but in general, it seems dSLRs not in the pro league garner  
criticism on tiny dark finder. granted, I had an L series constant  
aperture lens (amazing, I was holding about 2700$ worth of gear!) so that  
certainly didn't hurt :)

hearing it fired by someone a few feet away, I thought it wasn't as bad as  
most ppl make it out, then when I shot it, the slam very close to your ear  
definitely is a wake-up.
