Slowest Shutter Speed for People/Portraits?

That would be ideal but for the scenario in which I was shooting, a tripod is a bit unfeasible. Too much congestion, too long to set up and move shot to shot, etc. It was more like a fashion shoot; I'm pretty sure they don't use tripods because they're trying to capture a dynamic range of poses.

Yes, cosplay series and I was the member who put it up. :) I can see some very slight blur in some photos. It seems most common in the 1/60 and 1/50 indoor shots. I also think I didn't give SR enough time to settle when I recomposed, leading to very slight blur in some shots.

And thank you for the compliment! :)

The subjects were cooperating but generally holding strange, unnatural poses (trying to look like characters).

Thanks, guys! I was worried that I had calibrated Sigma not quite right, but I was seeing only slight uniform blur, mostly in the 1/60 shots (and some in the 1/80 shots). I definitely got just a bit too greedy there. I'll stick with 1/100 next time, try 1/125 if possible.

What is the slowest shutter speed you guys recommend for people/portraits? Assume there's no flash or other studio lighting available (impromptu photos inside, for instance). I've noticed what I think is a little bit of motion blur at 1/50 or 1/60 (but I'm not sure if it's miss-focus + shallow DoF), so I'm thinking this is just slightly too slow. Thoughts?
