Interesting as well. Right now I've got the 10D set to continuous, which is how I normally have my film cameras setup (except the F3, which is just too fast to leave in Continuous, unless I get around to buying a MK-1 firing rate converter to slow it down). I find it's very easy on a 2-3fps body to not shoot that extra frame, and sometimes I want the extra frame and don't have time to reset the drive mode. The only DSLR I left in single was the K100D, the shutter was just too sensitive for continuous to be left on. > >> The decisive moment is the best way to shoot as most would agree, >> but it >> depends on the situation, surely. ... > > Yes, I agree.
