For you to have confidence in yours, expect wide open at either end of the zoom range not to be at its best. Be sure your focus area won't pick up background elements, and give OIS with a 1/2 press of the shutter a moment to settle in before the full squeeze of the shutter to get the exposure.

Thank you for the tips. Regarding the OIS, i have read today that people tend to have better results with OIS Mode 2 (SHOOTING ONLY), i used the default OIS Mode 1 (CONTINUOUS + MOTION) before. I will try this the next day and will post my experience with it.

What's your experience with OIS settings?
