If thats your shooting style, then I would think so. Once the buffer is full, the camera becomes rather unpredictable about how often it will shoot. I have found that with sports and the like, I am better off to take one picture when I want to, rather than a bunch of pictures approximately when I want to. With motor drives on continuous, I find I get a picture either just before, or just after the one I really wanted. William Robb
