The EOS 350D has 3/4 frames/second RAW+Large JPG (it saves 2 images at
the same time) for up to 14 frames. The resetting after 14 frames is
directly related to the media speed. I also had to get an 80gig external
HD just to hold the images. Shooting 4 gig of images in one sitting is
not unusual. When it costs you nothing to shoot, you shoot a lot.

Saving both Raw and JPG is great as I can download and view the much
smaller JPG (3-4meg compared to 12+meg for a RAW image) Images I want to
keep I download the RAW.
