Eh. My main camera is a 1Dmk2, & I think I've used it in 8FPS mode
maybe three times, ever. Although in all fairness, I don't do much
sports shooting.

Then you may wish to entertain the possibility you wasted your money
buying one. My 1D2 is on 8fps basically all the time. I think 95%+
of the images I've collected were gathered in this mode, the rest in
single-shot. I could not find a mention of it in the MkIII's "white
paper" (disguised marketing material), but it would be useful to have
some burst options.

You might try discretion when creating images rather than just holding
down the button and hoping something good is in there.

When discretion says "hit the button", I get 3-4 images to choose from
before your shutter even opens.

I'm about 50/50 between single shot & 3 FPS mode. The latter is just
right for getting a clean shot when a subject blinks during the first
exposure.

I do mainly studio work, and I wonder what kind of studio flash can do
8+ fps without the flashtube or capacitor burning out.

With this camera all you need is 100 cameras and 100 monkeys, you would be
sure to get some keepers then. ;-)

I did think about cancelling the post but knew you would be along shortly to
explain, thanks for that. ;-)
