Wow, then excuse my last post. I was using a Canon A2 that had 5fps. When I went to digital with a DREBEL, I only had 2.5 fps. I felt I was missing out on a lot of potential moments when shooting "photojournalistic" or shooting wild children

This is one of the reasons a picked up the 30D in less than 6 months after buying the DREBEL. I wanted 5fps again. Fortunately, I can choose between 3 or 5 fps on the 30D.

If Paul says 3fps is enough then that says a lot.
