I am very confused about this thread. I have tried IS with the EF300/2.8L IS and found the feature worse than useless when trying to capture eagles, osprey and herons in flight. Why "worse than useless?" The image becomes jumpy as IS attempts to do what is an impossible job for it. IS may or may not work in mode 2 for panning an object moving in a well defined horizontal plane, such as a sports car. For a bird approaching overhead at an oblique angle it is not useful. I think the question Tapani raises needs to be addressed and I am not quite prepared to believe IS mode 2 works as described in this thread.
