I rarely use continuous shooting mode, either - the one big exception would be at the start of a race if I'm in position to get a good start shot. But I still look for a high frame rate for my cameras - the 4+ fps PZ-1p is ready to shoot again in half the time of the relatively sluggish MZ-S or *ist-D. I've quite often taken back-to-back exposures in single-frame mode, and it's extremely annoying not to get a shot because you're waiting for the camera. Further to that point: I was a little irritated to find just how often I was waiting for the *ist-D to empty the buffer during the race at Long Beach. Most of the time the buffer was large enough, but there were enough times when the camera wasn't ready to shoot for it to be a noticeable problem.
