I've had that happen on a few sites where the site seemingly kills the pic. Doesn't happen often though.

Here are a couple of pics I took over the weekend (unfortunately I couldn't get to any fireworks though).

Sorry, but if you have the money to afford the IS feature, get the IS lens, especially on the longer focal lengths.

I've been in situations where the IS was invaluable to me, as image quality was absolutely paramount since I was getting paid for the images I captured.

Increasing ISO to get more usability in low light is no substitute for IS.

forget IS....

I've been shooting sports and concerts for years and have NEVER used IS

I have shot sports with and without IS on my 55-250 and I can say that there is no clear difference when it comes to outdoor sports, but indoors IS helped a little, but not enough to make me want to spend the extra money if i didnt have to on the 70-200 IS. Also, for cars and portraits, using a tripod keeps the camera steady enough so IS isnt really needed. It is a nice feature, but not needed IMO.

IS, IMO, is a waste of money

the IS to me is a useful but you can live without it.. when it comes to 70-200mm, i would still get the one with IS but primary reason is coz its the 2.8F

if you guys can get sharp images in low light with non IS telephoto, than you will save a lot of money in lenses.
