Like you I guess there is a lot of material you haven't seen from me, most of it being the type of shots that really benefit from being able to shoot in sequence. In the old days (pre digital :-) I used to hit the shutter and prey that the subject hadn't moved substantially or changed expression etc. I'm talking mainly concert shooting where my usable yield has gone right up since the days of film, it's just not so hit and miss now. In this type of situation I am usually most likely to be bumped and in bad light so keeping card changes to a minimum is a good thing, changing film was often a nightmare, sometimes I'd take three bodies to reduce the amount of film handling. > It's interesting to > observe that some combat photographers and photojournalists have changed > film under much worse conditions.

I don't know if it's that, it's just utilizing the current technology to me, I like hot showers and running water too.
