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!

Well if you are happy with you FZ50 great, but I have yet to run into a
problem with the noise from my shutter. This is kind of like RichA
telling all of us that we should be having big problems with dust on our
sensors, just does not happen to me. Same thing with shutter noise,
just not an issue for me.

High noise and slow lenses is an issue for me however so when I am
shooting in low light I will use my DSLR and not my point and shoot. IS
has very little to do with it since it is people moving not camera shake
that gives me the most blur, and IS is not going to help that.

But again if you are happy more power to you.
