Why do people care about noisy auto focus in lenses?
- If you're shooting a film with dialogue, then you'll probably use a microphone pointed at the actors. The end result will not be affected
- If you're shooting an outside scene, you'll bother no one with the sound anyway, and the resulting photo will not be affected
- If you're shooting a concert or something, no one will hear it, and again, the resulting photo will not be affected
- If you're silently shooting withdrawn animals like a sniper, you'll probably focus beforehand, switch to manual and just wait for the right moment to click. Why risk the added time to auto-focus when a bird or mouse something flies into your scene and hops around? Again, if done properly a noisy motor doesn't effect the photo
Why is this a factor handled in lots of reviews? Who gives a shit?
dude, how am I supposed to take creepshots if the girls keep looking at me when my shitty lens is focusing?

I don't. Manual lenses on A7II and canon USM FTW.

The reviewers give a shit. Their business depends on you clicking links on their nasty splogs and buying stuff so they get the commission.
Therefore it is in their interest to tell you that the stuff you have isn't good enough and you had better get your game together or the neighbours and anonymous message board faggots will think you lack commitment to your art.

This.
A large portion of the industry is geared towards creepshots.
Hence the popularity of mirrorless cameras and push towards electronic shutters.

>tfw my dslr doesn't have a quiet mode and each mirror slap has this satisfactory metallic ring to it
It's all good really, it's not like I go out to take creepshots. I just jerk off to the sound of my camera in burst mode instead.
Shit sounds cheap.
