Re: Keep in mind that 17-55 has 3- Stop IS, allowing slower shutter-speed for more light

For example, shooting at 1/60s~1/100s in lowlight often result in pitch-black-backdrop. Where as using slower 1/10S ~ 1/40s allow me to illuminate the backdrop and avoid the pitch-black backdrop that I find annoying.

The flash freezes the main subject and the background is blurred anyway - so 1/10 to 1/40 sec without IS on this shot would not have made much of a difference.
