Faced with the need for silence but having instructions to capture the
ceremony ruled out using a DSLR with their quaint clatter as a spring
loaded mirror comes to a shuddering halt against hard rubber stops and
the equally noisy “clack” of their shutters… Instead I used one of my
Panasonic FZ50 "santa's little helper" cameras in stealth mode.
No mirror to slap, no vibrations to blur the shot. No need for high
shutter speed = high ISO… None of that stuff but perfect pictures none
the less!

My DSLR has live view on the LCD so I can lock up the mirror out of the
way of the LCD and do the same thing.
