In full sun and ISO 100 you need an ND4 filter and enough flash power
(eg: a T32 from not too far away) to drive through the filter. That
should allow you to shoot at 1/60 and f/5.6 or thereabouts. You can use
your flash meter if it goes down to ISO 6! (actually, mine does) :-)
I suddenly got excited when you mentioned the IS-3 but checking the
specs I see the flash sync is only 1/100. The best thing for flash sync
is the Mynolta A1. At least 1/500 and probably faster if you needed it.
As live view continues to evolve maybe we'll see electronic shutters
implemented within the DSLRs as in the A1.
