I know what you mean Ducan almost like using a cine camera and picking out single frames. What is it the army say "short bursts of 3 rounds". Since having the 20D I have tended to use this mode for shots of flight and twitchy birds. Normally 2 or 3 shots at a time. I would find it tedious going through dozens of shots to pick out the better pose or sharper image. I often find my 1st shot is the best but occasionally the next maybe a better pose or sharper. In a days shooting I average 50 - 100 shots. I find the more I take the higher the percentage of rejects.
I am from the same school, in a roll of 36 FP4 film say 6 rejects, mainly not sharp enough to blow up to 8 x 10 or tricky lighting conditions.
