    Well, I fired off over 3000 clicks in a month but got to keep less than a 100. There was a lot of burst in there and just playing around. But in the spring/summer time between 100-300 shotsa month too keep.After that not too many.

    At 10fps with the 1D IV in about 1 minutes of shooting that would be 600fmp of shooting. So I think I shoot far more now with the 1D IV than I did with the 5D II.


    I think the keeper rate is more important than the total taken.

    Based on this year's statistics, my weekly average is 71. Roughly 50% of picturesare taken with my XSi, just because I carry it with me most of the time.My 5DII is in use about 30% and the 7D 20%.


    These numbersand ratios may changeas the weather gets warmer.

    Over the last couple of years, my average has been just over 100 shots per week, of which about 10% are keepers.

    As others have commented, the average is not representative. Sometimes I'll head out somewhere with high expectations and never remove the lens cap because the light isn't right, but show me a baby penguin in the wild and I won't take my finger off the shutter release all day.

    Time Lapses skew me, though I may not even shoot every week, some weeks I can shoot in excess of 5000 actuations.
