How usefull the 5 Fps capability of the 20d really is for this kind of photography?

I use it just in case one photo turns out no so good as the other. I wish I had 5fps. My D70 just does 3 fps. _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Personally I prefer to fire off one shot at the peak moment of action rather than rely on the motor drive to maybe get it. there are times when I'll fire off a short burst at 5fps but not more than a few frames. On the other hand if you want to do sequence shots, which are falling out of favor these days, then a motor drive is essential (as is a deep buffer). this shot was done at 3fps on my old body, I think 5 is the sweetspot and don't think I'll be using the 8fps mode very often.
