The manuals say to not use IS on a tripod. I believe others have opined
that it has to do with the frequencies involved in a comparison between
'hand shake' and harmonic vibrations you're apt to encounter on a
tripod.

As I understand, the IS is a problem when using a tripod.
With the 510 and the 70-300 a person on another group sent in three
pics, all tripod of the same three different subjects, all on tripods,
one with IS the other without. The ones with IS were a bit fuzzier the
moment you opened the picture all the way up, I noticed the difference
when the pics were 1/3rd screen size.

I am considering getting a 420 or 520 for a backup to the E-3, and I
am definitely leaning toward the 520 because of the IS. I know some
people do not engage the IS "unless necessary" but I just leave it on
all the time. The shots it help are well worth any non-problems.
