Thanks for the replies. I did some more experimentation and I've concluded that at 230mm, the lens is soft on the edges.

One more question, if I may. How do you know/see if the OIS is working? Both body and lens have it, but is there an icon to verify? I ask, just to ensure, that it is working fine on a new lens

The icon just tells you it's switched on, and can be customised if screen settings. If it's not showing, may be that the icon is just not selected to be displayed.

To tell if it's actually achieving anything, I would suggest take a shot with OIS on, then switch if off, rest the camera on something solid and then take another image of the same subject from same distance, same lighting. Use the self timer to avoid shake.
