I use a Canon EOS system as my main system.  I have some IS lenses.  They are 
quite good for certain applications, but there is much they cannot do.  They 
do nothing to assist a subject that is moving.  They only reduce the effects 
of camera shake.  Additionally, the IS function is only usable at lower 
shutter speeds.  Above 1/125, the function is ineffective.
