Speaking of burst mode, the GH3 screams. It just completely frees me up to shoot how I want, as quick as I want. The buffer must be huge, and it clears fast to my card. I wasn't counting or anything, but I know I could rapidly shoot long bursts back-to-back-to-back without the camera slowing down at all. I am ecstatic, since that lets me get wildlife shots I might otherwise completely miss. Here's a RAW shot I cropped, adjusted white balance on ever so slightly, but did nothing else to. It captured a moment in time I probably would not have gotten without the GH3's incredible sustained burst capability.

I've been a fan of burst shooting too, but find I need to use it sparingly as the time it takes to evaluate results can get excessive.  I just wonder what your approach is to that?  How do you view and evaluate subtle differences?  I assume you're shooting RAW.  I shoot JPG because I'm satisfied with what I can edit from it.  Just trying to view a bunch of RAWs puts me off on even trying to use it again as from past memory viewing each image was slow as cold molasses.  I do have a much faster PC now tho.

GREAT write-up of your experiences.  I wish you good weather.

Most of my day was again dulled by heavy clouds with just a occasional shaft of sun until late afternoon when at a low angle it beamed under presenting wonderful display of light.  But alas at that time I had committed to testing how my red dot gun sight would work on the GH3 for shooting BIFs.  While I watched and waited for one of the distant gulls to come close and fly by the good light raced passed my hummer feeders where I know I would have had a chance for some decent shots.  Results on the flying gulls was lousy but opportunities I got were poor.  A couple turkey vultures surprised me when the zipped by.  Using the sight and a quick draw I was able to get two "almost nailed them" frames from the approximate 1 1/2 seconds they were within my shooting window.  I'm looking forward to much better opportunities and results when the terns arrive and I drive around the lake to watch and shoot them in a open space.
