good to experiment, Doug! That's exactly what i've been doing. I'm the same...love the sound of the shutter and enjoy the rapid fire. that waiting sucks! i shot ducks today and then some landscapes. i only shot in TIFF when doing the landscapes. i agree...my time is better spent getting in more shots than waiting around!!! and if i have problems with lighting, i prefer to fix it in postwork. raw rah raw*, Cindy!!! LOL!
