I do not expect to get the sharpest results at less than 1/60th personally

yes well -
the close up of the cougar head = 1/12th @ f:2, hand held the close up of the lens cap = 1/60 @ f:3.5, hand held (and really is tack sharp where I focused on the script) The flowers were blowing around in the wind (though I thought 1/750th should stop them, or would have with the R8/DMR - he thinks to himself - rationalizing that they blew out of the plane of focus between "seeing the focus, clicking the shutter, and shutter firing)

Obviously too many variables for accurate analysis.
