Does anyone coming from a D200 notice the D300, and I'm including the s variant has a loud shutter?

I have both the D200 and the D300, and quite frankly, I don't notice any difference in shutter noise. Then again...I don't care about shutter noise. I'm more interested in the shot I'm taking.

You only care about shutter noise if you are shooting in a quiet room. I actually had a wedding guest comment on how loud my camera was this year (first time I got that comment in 28 yrs of shooting weddings).
I don't have a D300 but used my D200 a lot for my available light shots during the ceremony. Now I'm using a D3s and notice the shutter sound every time. Its my guess there is very little difference between the D200 and D300. There is a setting on my D3s to make the shutter sound less (something to do with positioning the mirror I think) and I tried it once during a ceremony. It was quieter but not that much more. Look to see if that feature is on the D300 and maybe that will answer your question.

Coming from a Pentax K-7 to a D300s I was amazed at how loud the Nikon was! Can't understand why they don't do something about it. D7100 is a little better. The quiet shutter mode just delays the noise as it holds the mirror up until you release your finger (I think), but it's pretty useless imo.
