Tom, I'm not trying to be uppity here.
I'm not implying that you do, but I don't hold the release down & fire
away. I've done that in the past & I've gotten good documentary/stock shots
of alot of animals in the wild. I'm trying to move on & capture the unusual
animal pose/expression/interaction. I won't shoot just because I see a
bear/moose/beaver/etc. During my first few trips to Alaska I did. Once
you've got "the" animal shot you've always wanted you realize the only way
to improve on that shot is to capture it doing something "different" (a
bear scratching his back on a tree/ the interaction of the animal with
others etc)
Go ahead shoot any way you like, I'm just relaying my experience with the
*ist D in the field.
It all depends on the situation Ken. My shooting style changes with the
situation I'm presented with (as I'm sure yours must as well). If the
subject is relatively stationary, there's plenty of time to think more about
the shot. If all of the sudden an opportunity appears and the subject is
moving quickly and there is only a few seconds to capture it, I'll fire
rapidly. After all, that's why the continuous AF/shutter release capability
was built into the camera.
To the point of the topic... Having the ability to rapid fire and only take
7 shots... is sort of like using a film camera with a winder and starting to
shoot at the end of the roll.

Really Ken? When an animal is running through undergrowth and towards
trees
and cover where there will be no more opportunity to take the shot.... you
are more selective?
I'm talking about a situation where you have probably at most 15 - 20
seconds to capture the animal . The buffer quite easily fills in that time
frame.
Nice backhand, BTW.
