Boy, I'll second all that...When I'm spending a day with a family, or
shooting a wedding, I can easily shoot 1000 frames...And I'm focusing,
framing, and paying attention to exposure. ;-)

Well, let's see...
- Taking team and individual player photos for the Little League can net
you about 750 pictures in an evening. (provided you have a couple of
assistants and plenty of battery power for the flash). With Digital,
you can double that picture count because you'll take two or more per
kid.
- An average wedding shoot FILM BASED easily can consume 200-300 frames.
With digital, double that just because you can without impunity. Most
wedding pros around here are shooting around 700-800 per wedding in
digital now.
- Shooting an event such as an awards banquet with multiple speakers can
yield 500+ pictures.
- Sports shooters can shoot (on single frame advance or maximum burst of
three) 750+ pictures during a basketball game without trying. 2000+ if
they are finger heavy or running multiple, slaved cameras. One
legendary SI photographer was rumoured to have shot 20,000 in a single
basketball game.
- Racing photographers can shoot a couple thousand pictures during a
single race. In the case of Nascar, where you have 43 cars on the track
you'll get at least 50 pictures of every car and pictures of every
combination of cars on the track.Granted, 900f the picture are trash,
due to misfocus, motion, bad framing, etc.
- Fashion photographers? Well, 1000 in a day is child's play.
- Wildlife photographers? The top dogs in the industry used to shoot
75+ rolls a day BEFORE digital. 75x36=2700. 'Course, that wasn't every
day, but when the opportunities presented themselves, they required an
assistant that did nothing but change rolls.
- Hobbiest Landscape photographers? Ok, you got me there.
