I have had hands on the Z7 on two occasions. I tried the silent mode, and yes, it is absolutely silent. I actually had to review the images to be sure I took one. In todays live talk from Nikon there was a photographer who shot a movie set like you want to, and she said it was absolutely silent as well.
Thank you very much for confirming this about the Z7!
Having it backed up by another fellow Unit Stills photographer using it exactly like I would, was also appreciated. It's such a small niche of work (in relation to other main photography jobs anyway) that I didn't think I'd see feedback from one so soon!
The IBIS feature (finally, Nikon!) is also a huge plus to me, too.
Now I'll wait until I can get my hands on one to test out in the store and check the ergonomics, but already I see a lot of promise in being able to stay with Nikon.
Unfortunately I didn't hear the live talk. I wonder if the Z6 also has the same silent feature...
