Personally I can only get reliably sharp image with the 1/focal length rule, at the wide end of the 14-42 it\'s about 1/15 s. I have not tried shooting without IS so I can\'t tell you how many stops it helps But as a rough guide, I can handhold EF-S 18-55 IS at 1/15 s at the long end. Holding the camera at arm length isn\'t the most stable position.
