20D and XT were basically the same. I had 30D (which was basically 20D with sturdier shutter) and XT, and there was not much of a difference regarding sensor. The rest was different, XT had worse AF and couldn't make 1/8000, was plastic and didn't have pentaprism.

I seemed to get much better raw iq on 30D vs XT, so if the sensor is the same, had better implementation on the 30D. Shot both a ton, 1600 seemed much better on 30D. I've thought about picking up another Rebel XT to see the results now that I've improved pp skills in recent years .

Well then, how about the 90D does not have Silent Shutter for all the times you would like to have it?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Silent Shutter seems like a feature one would use at an event like a wedding, reception, recital or other such fluid situation. I would use burst mode (multiple frames w/1 shutter press) in those situations. The 90D version of Silent Shutter is limited to SINGLE shot only. Which makes it useless, as far as I'm concerned.

For comparison, the R6II can do 40 FPS in silent shutter. IIRC, the R7 will do 33 FPS. I believe 5 or 10 FPS would be sufficient. One FPS is not.

Silent Shutter in burst mode is what most sports and wildlife photographers want. That is the answer to my generalized question.

I am curious to try mirrorless . Only had a hand full of times were the shutter scared off birds. But, I kind of like the fact they hear it and look to see what it is. I always get the eye shot. Directly at me. I'm thinking I will have to enable some kind of mirror slapping sound with mirrorless to get the eye shot. Oddly I have tried all kinds of sounds to get the birds to look my direction. Everything I have tried scared them much more then the shutter. Something about that shutter sound that just works for me.

Whatever works for you. I have had many birds and animals flee the moment they heard the sound of a DSLR. With mirrorless cameras you have the option of turning Silent Shutter on and off. I can think of a hundred different sounds to make a bird look in my direction.

This bear cub did not hear a single shot from my R6 II. It was not until it saw me that it turned around and went back into the heavy bush.

Many mirrorless models have a fake camera shutter sound you can use with E-shutter. Some even have sound sample choices and volume adjustment. The higher mirrorless models also have a mechanical shutter with real shutter sounds. I think the R7 mechanical shutter is louder than the mechanical shutter and mirror slap combined on the 90D.

The shutter sound choices by the various manufacturers are kind of curious. IMO the Nikon Z9 has a bizarre, annoying sound and not sure why anyone would turn it on.

It kind of startles me whenever someone shooting beside me on a sideline has it turned on. I need to hear it again to remind me how bad it sounded, but think it was like a malfunctioning power tool.

Probably wouldn't recommend it for discrete wildlife use.

^ Wow, A is piercing but E takes the cake for most annoying, IMO. I think the sound that has stuck with me was Type B, but I wonder how many Z9 users even bother to change from Type A?

Nice shot Tony, a few years ago I was crossing a small stream and a Sun Bear came out and crossed about 10 feet from me.. Stopped me in my tracks.
