Hmmm....you've likely never shot 200 Go-Kart racers on a tight track,
I can tell....it's easy to shoot 300 frames in 1.5 hours in that kind
of event photography where you need to get at least one photo of
everyone. Just think what that would cost you in film and processing!
Yikes. With a Canon 1D and a 70-200/2.8, my ratio of keepers is over
80%, usually. With the new Canon Mark II, it would be even higher
(yes, I shot with one recently).
