I think it is more productive to choose the images wisely to begin with;
then you don't have to worry about sorting through them or discarding
them or erasing them later on.

I have yet to come across an occasion to use the motor drive on my
camera.  The only time I've ever used it was by accident, when I
switched the camera inadvertently to continuous mode.  It sounds eerily
like a cash register when it blazes through $4 of film per second.

Some people still use MF and LF cameras.  They aren't exactly museum
pieces yet.
