I believe film SLR's are much faster than digital for this type of work,
no
buffer required.


Right up to the point where it stops beacuse the film is used up...



Or right up to when the buffer is full, take your pick, 36 frames film or
8
(EOS 1D), also film has a much higher frame rate (10 fps EOS 1V).


OR 38 frames at 5fps digital and 1.75 frames/second after that till your CF
card fills with the Canon EOS 30D...

The Canon EOS 30D has two continuous shooting rates, 3 fps and 5fps , the
buffer states 30 JPEGs or 11 RAW images
To test this I shot using a typical fast CF card, in this case a Sandisk
Ultra II 1GB card. While not quite the absolute fastest card (that's
probably the Sandisk extreme III), it's pretty close.
In an actual test I got 38 large/fine JPEG images at 5fps with the EOS 30D
before the buffer filled. After that the shot spacing was 0.57 seconds,
equivalent to 1.75 frames/second.
