While it may help if panning a subject at say 1/60th seconds, when you have
runner, horse, steer, or other moving object heading toward you and are
trying to capture a sharp image of IS is less helpful. This is where a
faster shutter speed is needed. Yes, there are times when you want to show
motion and 1/60 may be good, but that is not always the case. If I am
shooting at 1/500 at F2.8 I stop the action and isolate the subject. With
1/60 at F8 I get a snapshot.
