Depends on the Action actually , by general rule make it anywhere between 1/250-1/4000s
Depends. Are you photographing a moving snail or rotating airplane propeller? The threshold for hand held shots is 1/60 with image stabilization maybe around 1/40 but if you're subject is moving too fast then you would get motion blur. In order to freeze motion you must have shutter speeds of 1/100 or higher. Taking photographs is really trial and error. You can build upon you're basic knowledge of shutter speed, apperture, ISO etc. and improve you're skills by taking lots of pictures but be sure to enjoy it.
Shutter speed is how fast your shutter opens and closes to take a picture on your camera. Shutter speed also has a lot to do with exposure. The higher the shutter speed (1/2000 example) the less light.
1. High light. 2. Action. 3. High ISO.
All cameras have multiple shutter speeds and depending the mode your camera is (Manual, Auto, etc...) the camera will choose what shutter speed it thinks will be appropriate for the picture. And most cameras will also not tell you the shutter speed you used, while some will.
When the higher or lower shutter speed either renders motion in an unacceptable way (depending on the subject matter) or the lower shutter speed is too slow for hand-holding the camera.
Shutter speed has a lot to do with your overall exposure. A higher shutter speed will decrease the light a lot. I was in best buy playing around with a camera and turned the camera shutter speed to 1/4000. After taking the photo, the preview was black. I realized it was because of how much higher I increase my shutter speed. Shutter speed also affects motion in a photo. A higher shutter speed will freeze all action in a photo a will less likely have a blur to it if you have a shaky hand. A lower shutter speed lets in more light while the shutter is will opened so the entire time that the shutter is open, the camera takes in all that light. Increasing chances of blur, you can also use this for crazy, funky effects! If your taking a picture of a waterfall with a low shutter speed, your gonna get a blur, which can typically look pretty epic sometimes too.

to freeze action
The shutter speed setting when taking sprint pictures should be on 'moving' speed. Sprinting is a motion and you cannot take 'still' pictures while someone is sprinting.
All shots rely on three settings - the shutter speed, aperture (lens opening) and ISO or film speed. The first, shutter speed, is the most important to stop the action. Putting the camera in a sports mode effectively shortens the length of time the shutter is open, reducing the motion blur in pictures. This can be done manually by letting more light into the camera either by making the aperture larger (lower f/ number) or raising the ISO.
Slow shutter speed - keeps the shutter curtain open for longer periods of time, e.g. when you shoot at night or in fading low light. Fast shutter speeds are used to capture action or when scene you are trying to shoot is well lit. In this case the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second!
I assume that you are looking for the shutter speed to take shots in the evening - this will depend on the aperture you are using and the ISO setting. Your need to combine all three to get the correct exposure. www.goldprints.com
The faster your shutter speed is, the more underexposed (darker) your subject/ scene will be. fast shutter speeds include 1/200th of a second, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000 and so on. If the shutter is slower (1/30, 1/40, 1/50 1/60, 1/100, 1/160) it will let more light in. with a slower shutter and moving objects, motion blur will occur, which is why a faster shutter is used to take action shots such as sports, and a slower shutter is used in Modeling photography to capture those vivid colors and lights.

You can adjust the shutter speed of Canon EOS cameras so there isn't a set shutter speed.
