Up until recently, I thought IS did a great job on my lenses. Now that I adjust the shutter speed and keep it low with IS off, I don't notice a difference (using my 100mm 2.8 Macro on non-macro subjects).

Thoughts?

it really depends on what you are doing, if you are having a high enough shutter speed obviously IS wont matter at all then.

but I am amazed at how many people have really bad shooting techniques ie. the way they hold a camera and control their breathing etc, so it would definitely help their keeper rates.
