You could always get a camera with MLU, that's about as quite as you are
going to get. The LX would fit the bill nicely, with it's LED display, and
metering system that works with the mirror locked up. Both the KX and K2
don't have illuminated displays, but the needles aren't that hard to read
in dim light. If you don't like the push buttons on the ME Super take a
look at the P3/P30/P30t/P3n, with it's tradional shutter speed dial and LED
readout in the finder.
