[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 1142275, member: 29446"] IS & a large aperture are not redundant and they help in different ways. Some time you may even need to stop the lens down to where the shutter speed would be less than optimum and IS can help in that situation too. There's no way you could shoot hand held at 1/15 of a second with at 70mm on a crop sensor camera and get a shot without motion blur unless you have IS. Is becomes even more useful in the longer focal lengths as well. Why do you think Canon puts IS on practically all their lenses over 200mm? [/QUOTE]
