Some events I'm happy with the near-silent ~3fps, but definitely make use of the noisier 6fps for others. The noisier shutter is also good for group photos, as people are more aware you're taking photos and actually look at the camera by the 3rd or 4th shot! | |

The silent modes on the 1D mkIII and 1Ds mk III also have single frame non-live view modes available. The 5DII and 7D are the most recent xD series model I'm aware of that do not have a non-live view silent shooting mode. The 1D mkIV, 1D mkIII and 1Ds mkIII have a single shooting silent drive mode, but no silent modes in Live view. The article you linked to describes how to use Live View to keep the mirror locked up while shooting continuously. This, however, is the default LV behavior, not a silent mode as on later models. | |
