I don't quite know how to phrase this. I"m wondering how "absolute" the action of IS is. IOW, if there's a range of camera movement within which IS will basically stabilize uniformly. Say I'm shooting at 1/8 - 1/20 sec with IS on: will there be much of a difference in the sharpness of the shot if I brace myself, hold my breath, squeeze the shutter - all the slow shutter speed techniques - and if I just compose, focus and shoot as though I was shooting at 1/250? Can I still optimize sharpness with IS on? -------------------------------------------------------------- Ken, There is a huge difference between holding your breath and bracing yourself and using IS. Of course if you brace yourself and hold your breath and usse IS even better. What I am saying is that at times you will get good sharp pictures using the brace method, but with IS technology you have a far greater percentage of getting in focus images. One caveat, you subject would have to be stationary. IS is not a substitute for fast shutter speeds when you need to freeze the action.
