Image stabilization, bah. Just a crutch for bad hardware.
To get crisp, sharp photos in low light condition you only need:
- Steady hands and firm foothold
- A full frame digital SLR (low noise at high ISO levels)
- A wide aperture lens (f1.8 or better)
So for the price of a small car you can get a bulky and heavy lump of equipment to carry around that will meet all your photographic needs.
After you learn how to use it. They're almost as easy to operate as a cold war era Russian submarine, so no worries.
It will also break if you drop it and make you look like a tourist of the "easy target" variety. Fun for everyone!

Twin is totalled, not even a scratch on the 1000 lb. Bumper of the Pontiac.

Not yet. I stopped looking so that it would just appear on it's own someday. You know how it goes.

There is nothing wrong with your pictures regardless of what the photo snobs say. I can tell what they are and that is all that matters.

You are right, the S4 did not have any image stabilization. Maybe it's time for an upgrade -
