I heard IS is useless in video, and then someone said it was everything. Can someone give me a clear answer. Im trying to decide between the two lenses and the IS is obviously more but if i dont have to spend the extra money im not going to

-Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
-Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L

thanks in advance

nevermind, i found an answer to my question

Not sure what the answer was that you found, but I have the 17-55 IS and when handholding at the telephoto end if I don't use stabilization my shots are too shaky. I really like IS -- makes a big difference for me. If you don't handhold, and use tripod mostly, then IS might not matter too much.

Yes, it would be great if you could pass along what you've found.

this was a great one
