Modern DSLR’s, which are used by the vast majority of news shooters, still have noisy macanical shutters. This will eventually go away as mirrorless cameras, like Sony’s A7 line (has a silence mode that actually is quiet), are used more widely.https://twitter.com/radiosmith/status/1006355323429511169 …
I’m not really using the D7000 anymore, since I got a G7, but its noiseless mode helped me in plenty of conference/festival settings (good enough for pin drop speech portraits). Maybe Nikon’s tech has regressed since then.

Maybe, I just know I was always disappointed by the silent mode on them. Never really made a difference in quiet situations. The new Sony ones though, damn. Can't even tell someone's taking a photo.

I admit I was biased against Sony when I got into DSLRs (though not necessarily a partisan in the Nikon - Canon “holy war”.) Sony brought a lot of innovation in the field, esp. on QoL improvements, and low light tech (I’d love an a7s, but the G7 is good enough for now.)

I'm also not using it, still with Nikon. Watching where they go from here.
