Quieter Shutter – Fuji Camera

[William W]

Does anyone have experience comparing and contrasting the Fuji, X-Pro 100 and the X100.

Specifically my question is:
Which of the two has the quieter shutter: the Focal Plane of the former or the Leaf Shutter in the latter?

Thank you

Here's a link (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x-pro1/8) to the DPReview of the X-Pro 1, down the bottom they talk about the 2 cameras in regards to shutter noise.

Thank you.

Exactly what I wanted. Very useful to me.

I thought I had read that review - but obviously I had missed those couple of sentences tucked away down there.

I was always coming from the theory that the Leaf Shutter would be quieter but I couldn't find any corroborating views.

Also interesting and useful to me is the mention of the pitch (sound) of the Shutter noise of the X-Pro 1.

Thanks again for the reference to that specific page.
