For me ISO400 is the starting point with this camera, no obvious noise, it's fine at ISO800 but you may need to use Neat Image to make the most of your shots. Tips for using IS... I think Adrian has covered this well, but the thing that took me some time was getting the hang of waiting for the IS to kick in before shooting. Also bear in mind that IS doesn't solve everything, even with IS handholding at slow speeds is tricky. The best advice is just to spend time using it, with practice it will makes more sense and you'll see the results getting better.</blockquote>
