Ive been thinking about what good the IS funktion is.

So if im in a darker place (say indoors) and i think it might be to dark for 4. so i compensate by turning the shutter speed down to 1/8s the movement the camera is trying to capture isnt affected. So i still get blurry pics with that lens. In other words...use less...

But if im trying to take "faster" pictures indoors the pictures will just get darker, since the IS funktion doesnt have anything to do with the image getting more light at higher speeds.


God this make thing so hard to decide. I cant really afford to exchange my tamron 70/200 to a canon 70/200 2.8L. But i can afford a canon 70/200 4L without IS. Alot cheaper without.


So basicly im between a hardplace and a rock.


I have also been thinking of exchangin the lens for a eos40d, but that will still leave me with lenses that i dont really like.

I still need a new good 17/55-70 lens and a better 70-200 lens.
The ones i have now are the 18-55 kit lens and a tamron 55-200 that does its job but isnt sharp enough and the AF is to hesitant.

I still use my tamron 90 macro for...well...macro and my canon 50 1.8 for portraiture.

But i still need something for motocross and other stuff, traveling and etc.
The canon 70/200 IS was a good candidate...but now im kind of hesitant.

I wish i had all the money in the world.
Argh....
