Re: EF 70-200mm 1:4L USM with or without IS

Too big (long) and heavy, get a smaller zoom with IS. The crop factor on the body will up the zoom range, the shorter, lighter lens will get you on target, and the IS will keep the shots clean. For street and fast critters (i.e. kids) the 70-200 is getting you too close (unless your recording nose hairs). Plus a little wider end on the zoom can catch some of center detail you may want to crop down to later.
