Stabilization??

Over the years I have collected 3 different Canon Rebels...300D...400D and the 650D. Some of my lenses have the image stabilization feature. I've read several articles that describe how Canon achieves the stabilization in the lens...but very few ever talk about what "kind" of shake the feature is supposed to neutralize. From my experience "shake" is from several sources...

breathing(heavy or light)

natural body movement

wind movement

Also...the shooting environment is a factor. Such as

sports(following a subject on the field or car on the track)

lowlight

So...does IS work to some degree on all types of movement listed above and in

all shooting environments?

A typical example...I'm out hiking and I climb a hill. So I'm breathing heavy at the

top of the hill and I want to get an image of something(butterfly, strange insect,other

animal). The shooting window is very fleeting so I don't have time to set up a tripod.

Will IS help in this situation?

Thanks for your time!

Jim
