Can someone say for sure that a camera case for the body will lower shutter noise. I love my ZI (even more than the M7, I had) but the metal shutter curtain is noisier than cloth. Can a camera case lower that noise?

It does for Leica Ms for sure. I have a Luigi and Zhou cases and both quite down the shutter noise.

I think that they do lower the noice. Now - question is by how much and will the difference in noise be enough to make you happy? Only one way to find out. For me - I use cases , but not only for noise reduction but also because they make it more comfortable for me to hold camera. My cases are also both - Luigi and Zhou.
BTW, I have a case for my very quiet M5 too - it makes holding it way better IMO.

Akiva, the ZI's hardly loud in the first place though. The difference in volume it makes to the M6's cloth is absolutely minimal.

Thanks folks for the input.

I tried using a half-case with my (now sold) Hexar RF for this very reason.
Perhaps it made a small difference but was hardly a game-changer.
If you like the camera, just try to get over the sharp shutter sound and love it for what it is.

If you have your hands wrapped round the camera I can't see that a half case will make a great deal of difference to what you or anyone else will hear. Depending on where the shutter is, with a rangefinder camera pressed against your face, the shutter sound is nearly bound to be much louder to you than someone standing in front of the camera lens. Am I right?
