Surely Doug these guys shooting at 8 frames a second aren't getting the 
quality you do? While shooting one frame at a time? The first frame.

Sure motor drives are great, no question. But there are ways to use it to 
ones advantage without blasting every subject. Certainly with the quality 
required for fine wild life photographs I would think the photographer's 
shooting instinct would be far more important than a motor drive?

Besides wouldn't the motor drive sound spook off birds creating a longer 
wait for a return of any?
