From all MFT-Cameras you've owned: which's shutter sound do you like best?

Re: From all MFT-Cameras you've owned: which's shutter sound do you like best?

Purely personal preference, none of the m4/3 cameras I've owned had what I'd call a "good-sounding" shutter...but my benchmark is the Nikon F2 Photomic, my first "real camera".   As a result, I think all the mirror-slappers I've owned sound better than any of the m4/3s cameras.

Nikon F2 > Canon EOS 40D > Canon EOS Elan 7n > Canon EOS 70D > Canon EOS 300D > Canon EOS300 > everything m4/3.

To answer the question for real...

G7/G85 electronic shutter > G85 mechanical shutter > GX1 mechanical shutter > G7 mechanical shutter > GF3 mechanical shutter
