An interesting quotation from Ansel Adams on the speed and immediacy of the 35mm format:

“One is beguiled by the quick finder-viewing and operation and by the very questionable inclination to make many pictures with the hope that some will be good. In a sequence of exposures, there is always one better than others but that does not mean it is a fine photograph!”

He was of course comparing 35mm to large format work and its approach, but oh how true this also rings in this digital era!
