Why is it that when the press is allowed into the white house to cover comments being said by the anointed one, you can barely hear the talking due to the extreme clicking and clacking of the (apparently) antique cameras making so much clatter?
My gosh - Are these news agencies so broke that they can't upgrade to nice, quiet 21st century DIGITAL cameras instead of 20th century (probably dating back to the '30s or '40s) cameras?

here is a recording of a 40D in burst mode
The only noise missing from the old film days is the sound of the power winder. (But that can usually be simulated through a speaker.)
Marooon!
Do you mean LAT/LONG for GPS equipped mobile phones? I think landlines give the address.
Hey, I never thought of that. Maybe we'll have to go back to old-fashioned flash powder.
Maybe it’s more of a problem with microphone placement, than it is with camera clicks.
>>>I know for a fact that 911 definitely has caller id in some jurisdictions. A 911 hang up will result in a visit by the local constabulary.
True for land-line originated calls. Not always true for cellular originated calls - the really up to date dispatch centers would not only get your cell phone # when you call 911, but your phone’s GPS would tell the dispatcher where you are.
Exactly... The best DSLR's in the world make noise. Professional photographers do not use point and shoot digital cameras.
Frankly, I like the sound of the mirror and shutter on my DSLR and it is a little quieter than my old SLR.
We used to rig them to doorways at estimated head height.
The Cellphones on Verizon's system have GPS build in.
The ones in Union Wireless do not. The Union system calculates coordinates if two or more towers receive
the signal, so most report the coordinates.
The Land line report the address, and the system has a data file of addresses with coordinates, so there is also a map point for Land line phones.
We only get one or two calls each week that do not show a map point of the location.
Thanks for the 411.
