I tried shooting at 1/200 t0 1/250 f8 ISO 100 to 200 at closer subjects 30 to 50 feet away still getting the same quality.I tried my 18mm 135mm and I can get pretty clear shots.

If you are shooting handheld, you'll most likely need a faster shutter speed in order to get sharp shots with this lens -- even with IS turned on. Using a crop body, I try to keep the shutter speed at 1/1000sec or faster whenever possible when using the 100-400L. I only shoot slower when I run out of aperture and ISO.

In your example, you had a lot of leeway with both ISO and aperture (f/8 and ISO 100) to get faster. An ISO of 400 would have got you there. Don't be afraid to raise the ISO on your 60D. The sensor can handle it.
