[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 441169, member: 9240"] That's sort of like saying that a confederate soldier wouldn't stand a chance against an M-16. And sort of pointless - unless you're also recommend we send our troops out with muzzleloaders. If the tech has evolved shouldn't the expectations? Just because you could get 2-3 fps with film at best back in the day doesn't mean you should be satisfied with it now. The bitch was that you still [I]settled[/I] for a shot back then among all those frames that you managed to squeeze off. The number of different "poses" a bird flight can give you in 1 sec is amazing, and even at 6 fps you wind up tossing complete 2-4 second runs because nothing looks "right". So I'd argue that being able to sift through 30 shots in 3 seconds isn't spraying and praying as much as it is being offered the job to make a better selection to settle on. There's no wildlife photographer on the planet out there shooting in single frame mode with a willingness to fire that one frame at precisely the right time when they're looking to capture action. Same thing with sports. There are lots of people who can do their jobs with one hand tied behind their back. But why the hell should they? [/QUOTE]
