I disagree, or at least I find SR to be very useful with shorter lenses and wider apertures. My pug portrait last month was taken with FA50mm @ 1:1.4, hand held at 1/30s. I also have sharp pictures taken without a tripod with DA14mm @ 1/4s http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=336893 and DA16-50 @ 16mm and 1/8s http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=353011 For me SR has been the most useful new feature since the image sensors.
