Is the NX30's electronic shutter silent? I've got to really like the silent electronic shutter on the V1. It's not a deal breaker if it hasn't, just keen to know....

As an aside; does the NX1000 have a silent shutter option? Thanks!

Hello,

No, the shutter is not silent and, AFAIK the electronic shutter is only used as a "trick" to reach 1/8000s shutter speed.

It isn't a trick, it has real world benefits of reduced shutter lag and vibrations from not using a first curtain.  When the first curtain opens it can introduce vibrations into the image as blur.  It can still use mechanical first as well, but as you say, you lose 1/8000.
