All I know is that the IS saved my bacon at the speeches on a wedding a few weeks ago. It was darker than a hobbits foot.

Well after a lot of going back and fourth I went with the IS version. Received it today and pretty much mounted it, dialed in some quick settings and took this test shot. (no editing was done)  I personally think it turned out ok. I literally called her name and then took the shot. (I'm pretty sure she has ADHD)
