Your test was not well controlled, because the shots were taken handheld. The pixel density on this camera is so high that the 1/eqv. FL rule from the past is vastly inadequate.

True, for handheld shots without IS.

1/60s is way to slow for about 195mm even with some help from Is.

Nonsense. The IS on this lens is good for about 4 stops. That means that 1/60 with IS is equivalent (in hand shake terms) to about 1/1000 without IS. That's plenty fast enough, even with the higher pixel density sensor.

A little motion blur can wipe out any difference in sharpness.

Yes, but there was no motion blur here. You probably mean hand shake, but again, as I explained above, the IS is more than adequate to negate that.

Again, you don't see the issue in your use (or there is workaround) does not mean that the issue does not exist.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
