Do people still use a tripod with an Image Stabilizer lens or is the point of having an IS lens is to not use a tripod?

IS or VR look for camera shake, so if you use a tripod turn that function off

you need a tripod regardless of the IS for many reasons .. IS still aint going to fix blur for pictures that need sec exposures in low light .. same thing goesfor flash .. however with flash u will need a difuser and learn how to add light to your imaages from fill light to just light to get an image .. more thanwhat i know right now

Yes, some IS-equipped lenses (1st generation IS) require the IS to be turned off when mounted on a tripod, or the IS will behave erratically andadd blur to the image. Lenses with 2nd gen IS (from what I've heard) can notice that when it's mounted on a tripod and will turn the IS off on it'sown. These are the lenses that have 2nd generation IS (source):
EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM
EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM
EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
EF 600mm f/4L IS USM
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
(searching ftw)

18-55mm IS.
Nifty fifty is a must have. Run you about $90.

I sold mines or 80 bucks and I know I could of have it for 110 ... You need to search ... CL - eBay - Amazon - B&H - Adorama .. those are places you needto start checking out .. also look into the 55-250 IS which is about 200 and its a very good lens for the price!

Personally I think the kit lenses are crap. If I were you I'd get some primes. 50mm 1.4 or 85mm 1.8. Those are the lenses I started out with.Or the nifty fifty is pretty good for the price.

Let me see you post the same resolution. A smaller resized version of any photo will make it look sharper. I use Photobucket and I do not see anydegrading of image quality.Originally Posted by CDub Yo

The image did become more clear with a smaller resolution, but even a larger Flickr photo comes out better than the previous Photobucket one...

I would love to do a photo shoot with a drug cartel or something like City of God......
well herb isnt as broad as H, but i get what you are sayin.
nope no PS, only slight contrast change.

I vote we have a Photobucket v. Flickr side-by-side comparison from anyone who has both to settle it once and for all...
and for my own sick pleasure. Something about flickr's photos does seem to be better...but I don't know. Anyways, I'm on Spring Break and my laptopcharger has died. Happy I picked up that 2GB card right before I left. It's definitely getting used.

I know I had a couple of ideas and to my surprise wifey had a Macro lens on her film SLR that worked on my dSLR which I was excited aboutusing BUT I just didn't have time this weekend.

Ireally dunnnoooooo just throwing stuff out there...
