I set my old canon S70 to sound like a photon torpedo firing,
but I got bored after half a dozen shotts so it went back to mute mode.

I've got a GF1, a 40D and a 5D mkII. I find using the LCD on the Lumix
to be the biggest psychological obstacle for me in getting good shots
(my definition, I'd accept that decent photogs thought I sucked
anyway :)

I just find it hard to get a connection with people when my eye isn't
jammed in a viewfinder.

If you didn't have a camera with a viewfinder, and used only cameras
with rear LCD screens, you would quickly learn to get good results
with it. It's only a struggle because you are used to reflex viewing.

Yabbut you'd develop those zombie arms- you know, the folks walking
around with their arms fully extended with the compact at bay.....

But you'd still get the shutter lag.
