ISO 3200 at f2.8 would be situations where I can't even see your face clearly within 5 feet.

Regarding hand shake, how much shake there is depends on your skill.  In a meeting situation, I can't imagine everyone is dancing like Michael Jackson.

I don't think ISO3200 is within my mentioned "quality range" though, no matter which camera and mode ...

f2.8 at 1/25 is more than enough for most indoor lightings.

and with IS, you can easily shoot 1/10 without shake

Not sure about Vancouver, but the meetups I've been to in Seattle have a fair share of both newbies and established photographers.  Most of the time you just want to hook up with a couple people who share the same vision and interest as you do and start from there.

It's important to go w/ someone who has a similar approach/style.  Sometimes I would stand at a street corner for 20-30 mins waiting for something to happen.  A landscape guy or portrait guy would not want to do that.
