IS and low light have a subtle relationship. First, I don't think you can use IS with a tripod.

Second, if you intend not to use a flash (or external light), you can always get a good exposure, but turning down the shutter means that you will risk a subject with motion blurring.

You may not need a tripod at 1/40, depending on the length of the lense. Try a monopod first, you may be surprised with the results.

I have a Canon 20D, you will notice noise in ISO's of 800+.
