Re: Is Image Stabilsation really necessary?
Which puts you in pretty much the same position as me. Photography is only occasionally my primary reason for a trip so having one lens with IS allows me to keep shooting in lighting where it might not otherwise be possible, which I suspect is the reason for it in the first place. Reasons of convenience or airline baggage restrictions may dictate travelling light.
If taking photos is the reason for being there, or you have particular needs for the image you're after then you're going to want to carry either a tripod or flash(es) if at all possible, which seems a perfectly reasonable approach.
None of these approaches are right or wrong, they're just different, which is the joy of photography - there's more than one way to skin a cat. Or even to photograph one.
