It'll suck your battery like a vampire if you keep the IS on all the time.

They're fantastic for shooting in low light though, as long as your subject isn't moving around. :-)

The saturation is up slightly but they are relatively colorful in life.

Gargoyles from the Catholic church?

Indeed.

That IS is impressive (how would you write that to show REAL emphasis? That IS IS impressive?)

“Impressive IS!”, perhaps.
