IS is simply a bonus over non IS. It works for me all all subjects. I once tried shooting with Provia 400 in the camera. Even with IS, I was constantly shooting at too low a shutter and basically all my results were as you say pure crap. I'm no saying it can't be done, but the restrictions of olden days no longer influence me. >There comes a point when capturing the image becomes - almost a waste >of time - film or digital.

Not as a pictorial shot. Yes, there comes a point. I just bought Neatimage though, and that allows me even high range of shooting with good results. I consider an 8 by 12 inch print at arms length my lowest quality that i feel is acceptable. ISO 1600 can easily handle that. With Neatimage I can go to 12 by 18, yay! To me limits are size and weight of lens and equipment. That brings me to my little 100-400L IS zoom. This allows me to go anywhere and get a shot, and without tripod. ISO 1600 allows me to do it in almost any light. I know it's not everyone's style, but it's mine. You can sit at your big huge tripod all day for all I care. Seriously, that style of shooting is not for me. It's too static no matter what the quality or results look like. And staying with film, that's out of the question for me. Some are hunters some are fishers, I'm a hunter.
