During my last visit to Denali National Park I shot around 1500 digital images (equivalent to 42 rolls) in 11 days, slightly more than I've taken with film in the past. My number of keepers seems to be up significantly tho. Some of this I'm sure is due to the immediate feedback afforded by the digital & some of it was due to the phenominal animal appearances we were afforded. I also shot 20 rolls of film on this trip & it appears I have a higher than normal keeper rate with film also, I believe in part, again, due to the immediate feedback of the digital which I used to influence the film camera settings & composition.

Not sure. Since late october last year my *istD has done about 4000 exposures. That's about 70 shots per week...:-) This year's output is higher than ever. I used to shoot about 100 films per year, out of which about 60-70% was 645 format with 15 exposures per roll. That is about 2000-2500 exposures per year. However, I take most of my shots on dedicated photo trips. This year has seen more trips than ever (much thanks to PDML members), and that may well account for the increase in number of exposures. What's more interesting is that the percentage of keepers has come up too. There may be a lot of reasons for that, but I think the most important is the instant review. Over the first half year I did a lot of chimping, and I think that's a really good way of speeding up learning. Now I feel I know what to expect from the camera, and the rear display is turned off all the time. Another good thing about digital is the total control of the image from recording to presentation. I think that inspires learning too.
