I disagree, it's only beneficial in limited circumstances. For instance if you are shooting moving subjects in low light there is no substitute for a fast lens and fast film. If I went the Canon route I envisage that it would be some time before I ploughed money into IS lenses, I'd put cash into fast lenses first.
