Used to take 50 blurry shots of my dog at the park, now I just burst mode 3 seconds and pick the winner

I switched last month after my golden retriever ran straight at the lens during golden hour and I got 47 blurry paws and 3 usable frames, has anyone else noticed burst mode saves you from having to throw away half your memory card?

Man you're acting like burst mode is some huge revelation. It's just holding the shutter button down longer. Yeah it helps with fast moving dogs but you still have to go through like 20 near identical photos to pick the one you don't hate. Memory cards are cheap anyway, who cares about filling them up. I'll take my 47 blurry frames if it means I don't have to babysit a burst sequence.

Nah @lucasjackson, I gotta push back a little. Yeah you get a bunch of similar shots, but that's the point. With dogs you get that split second where the tongue is out or the ears are pinned back perfectly. Without burst you miss it. I'd rather delete 46 duds than wish I had that one frame.
