It would take great amount of self-discipline to:
1. Do as much as possible with the camera.
2. Do only raw processing and then spend no more than 5 min per photo

does.
I've gone for walkarounds with my *istD and never recorded a single
image. I find I'm now shooting just as I did with film. In fact, since
I was heavily into 6x7 and ten frames per roll before switching to
digital, I'm probably more cautious about pulling the trigger than I
was five years ago. I did shoot a lot with the digital at first,
because I was experimenting. But now I find I've reverted to my
photography mindset. Digital isn't an issue. I'm also very careful with
in-camera exposure control. Although I shoot only RAW and can make
changes when processing, the best results are still obtained from
perfect exposures, particularly in regard to noise and highlight
retention. I rarely spend more than five images converting a RAW. One
to two minutes is the norm.
