IS rules.......... but will it get 6.5fps?
Well, IS + 6.5fps will get you at least 1 shot that's OK (hopefully).

I'm especially mad that I didn't get any good shots of the deer in the road that caused me to swerve into a tree. Tony

I'm especially mad that I didn't get any good shots of the deer in the road that caused me to swerve into a tree. So, either my camera is lousy or my "IS" lens is a bunch of BS. I'm returning them both for a good G9 -- I hear they're great for those kind of things. You must not have it set to the panning IS mode. To take Pictures is a gift to post them on POTN is an Honor.

But now the new G9 won't shoot at 6.5 fps -- do you think there's a firmware fix for that? Yeah. An up-to-date catalog. The G9's not new - it's discontinued. G9 Production Rate not hitting 6.5 Bodies per Month. Jon
