Sure, that's what was available. Of course motor drives with high frame 
rates go back to at least the late '60s, while IS is much newer. You can 
get a MD and 250 frame back for the OMs, 5 fps for almost a minute, if 
you want. And you forgot AF, before AF, one needed additional focusing 
skills.

The farther back you go, the more important the ability to anticipate 
just where and when the great shot would occur was. There was one guy 
back a half a century or more who took great shots of boxing with an 
8x10 view camera.
