I kinda like to take extra shots when photographing people talking because faces sometimes become on and off less flattering when people are talking in still shots.

Yes, I always do that too. But I'm looking for interesting shots more than flattering. I'm not selling these shots to the people in them, but I'm happy for them to use them on their websites if they want to (which some of them do).

Right ? Taking extra shots while people are speaking can sometimes get very interesting facial expressions.

R2 says he always does bursts ?

I use 3fps on my R7 for this. I did a bit of burst shooting with the R, but for that you have to go 5fps in e-shutter (I could do 3fps in mechanical or EFCS), which is a bit faster than I want in this context. I do find that I can shoot at least 2fps in single shot e-shutter on the R just by pressing the shutter button repeatedly. If the R had the 3fps option in e-shutter, I'd definitely use that.
