That's what I've been discovering with my 24-105. The IS allows me to shoot at 105mm with a shutter speed two stops slower at least and still get keepers. The 200mm at f2.8 needs at least 800 ISO indoors in daylight unless the subject is actually in the sunlight. I've been able to pull off a couple of decent shots at a couple stops slower than 1/FL, but the keeper rate is pretty low. Here's one at 1/80, but I had to crank the ISO to 3200 just to get that speed.
