OIS on the 16-59 S is a total disappointment. It does not function properly on the majority of copies.

Is the OIS a total disappointment because it takes on average 1 min to warm up (more or less depending on the copy)? Or did it have some other issue?

Yes, more than a minute and even then it can be sketchy. Total let down to have a design or manufacturing flaw on an otherwise beautiful lens.

I understand it's not an ideal situation, but I can't think of many scenarios where you need to turn on the camera and shoot straight away. By the time you have worked out your composition, chosen settings etc a minute has probably passed.

Maybe something like street photography, events, kids etc, but in those situations your shutter speed is fast enough, so you could just turn OIS off.

In any case, you could just set the camera to turn the screen off without going to sleep and carry an extra battery to compensate for the extra consumption.
