I managed to do a 0.6 second exposure @18mm handheld with no shake with my 18-55mm IS kit lens. Just to give you an idea of what the IS can do

A nice wide aperure can only be a good thing but i find that i would want a prime lens about 100mm rather then the "kit" focal lenghts...
I use my kit lens for landscape stuff so see no need for wide apeture where-as my 55-250mm lens is an F4.6-5 (or something like that) and i'd prefere that to be wider as it would be used more.
(Hope the above makes sense)

I've learnt to control the shaky hands Unfortunately I didn't like the photo so I'm pretty sure it's been deleted, I'll have a look in a bit, if it's not there I'll try and get another
Edit: Haven't got that pic anymore but I've just realised the pic I posted in my new camera thread was 0.5 seconds @55mm handheld, there is very slight shake although it doesn't show in the smaller pic, if you click on it tho and go to the full size one you can see it but it's not bad considering the shutter speed
