Big news! Landscape photographers don't use burst mode. Ask a master sports photographer and you may get a different answer.
I'm guessing he already knew that - just as it is hard to imagine a landscape photographer without a tripod or a street photographer with one. Many of the endless discussions here are a result of a photographer from one genre attempting to apply the standards and practices from his genre to another genre.

I finally played around with some high ISO last weekend and found that proper exposure trumps low ISO. I let ISO float on my d7200
and shot a couple indoor portraits at 11,200 and then at 400 iso at a much lower shutter speed. The 11,200 picture was far sharper
and had no graininess to it. I was shocked and will keep pushing the limit of iso.

Yep, exactly right. Blurry shots are useless (unless intentional), while noisey shots are usable and may be improved in post.

I find this very interesting as I am an old film guy. Worth taking digital shots of the same subject at different ISO settings and comparing more closely. I have done that but never really analyzed the ISO setting, just the quality (focus and grain) of the photos. Thanks for the hints.
No grain in digital just noise.

And I think that by doing that we're not being fair to novices looking for advice. Sometimes I think that when people here pontificate about the "right way" to do things they should also tell us what kind of photography they engage in.

No mention of grain in my posts...

Yes, of course I knew that. That was sort of the point. And I was also being rhetorical and sarcastic. I'm just not a fan of burst mode, sorry, though I can see how it would be useful for action shots. I own a motor drive film camera (1980) and have probably only used the drive one or twice just to try the feature out. I bought that camera for its other features.

You said you couldn't see ANY master photographer using burst mode. So there are no master photographers shooting sports or other fast action photographs? It is certainly a useful tool for some types of photography.

Yes, burst shooting for purpose to catch wing position, e.g., vs. for spray and pray.

Agreed.

More or less concur except "3. NOT SHOOTING IN HIGH ISO". That is the opposite of what I would tell a newbe. I believe you should start with the lowest ISO you can use and only raise it as needed.
