I have a Minolta XM (X1 in the USA) and the shutter is so smooth even with some background noise you don't hear it fire as well as it just lacks any vibration. Probably the quietest SLR I have ever used
Gotta say i like the mirror slap on my Hasselblad 503cx. Not really the shutter but what the heck.
to me, it is the Hasselblad 500V series without a doubt!Hey folks,
Just wondering, what would you say is the camera with the best shutter sound and feel?
I haven't owned a lot, but for me, it's the Pentax K1000. The Olympus Pen F was very close, though, and when I'm in the mood, the Bronica SQ-A is also immensely satisfying.
I prefer the Pentax shutter over the one in the Nikon FM2n, although the latter is a vastly better camera.
The worst I feel, is the Canonet QL17. It's so quiet and non-communicative, that when someone takes a picture with it, they look at the front of the camera with a puzzled look as if it's broken. It isn't, it takes beautiful pictures, but it doesn't inspire.
So what about you guys? Any personal favourites?

The thunder of my Bronica S2. Scares kids and small animals.
I have a ProMaster PK Super something or another, it has a great crunch when tripped.
A very good friend gave me a deal on a Bronica EC. The first time I shot it I thought I broke it. Man was it loud! Great camera and lenses though.![]()
+1The precise (ironically) mechanical feel of the Nikon F5.
