With F1.8, my stills usually have plenty of light for a high enough shutter speed to obviate the need for OIS.

Video, esp 4k on my NX500, is tough to hold steady due to the crop-factor.  I have had some luck using ffmpeg to stabilize shaky video, but even with a beefy machine we are talking many hours to fix 5 minute video.

Using the articulated screen I am usually able to find a position where I can keep it somewhat still and there is only some shake, but when I can't, look out, it is ugly.

I would love a large aperture, F2 at least, OIS, prime for video.

I dont think this lens really need OIS. I'm absolutely fine shooting in low-light and have less blurred images than on DSLRs that I had (and I had a lot of them).
