Thanks Jan.
This is always the reservation I have had about IS, subject motion.
But I think it might be useful, say, when taking a street scene at
night, where it will help keep the buildings and other immovable
objects sharp, and if there is motion blur from people walking by,
that usually enhances the scene.
Cheers,
Nathan
