As this is my first DSLR, I guess my expectations were high. I almost
always shoot with the motor drive.  When doing portraiture, I often
use it too fire off short rapid bursts to 'bracket' a particular
moment.

10 frame buffer is easy to fill. When my R8 comes back, I plan to try
a 150x card and compare to the 60x I am using.
