DxO Analyzer Blur tests of the lens' first-generation VR system (at 200mm) showed an improvement for three users of about 3 stops of extra handheld sharpness at slower shutter speeds; 4 stops are possible with Nikon's VR II system
-
Just remember, VR is just for camera shake and won't help with slow shutter speeds a even a slightly moving subject
-
had I relied more on the VR and a slower shutter speed
-
If you take advantage of the fast shutter technology from your camera, you'll greatly appreciate the wonderful results and impressive boket that makes your work look like a trained professional.
-
the shutter is slower but that was expected from what I had read.
-
I was able to handhold at very slow shutter speeds with no sign of camera movement, even at 200mm
-
I'm especially impressed with the fast shutter
-
But if your subject is relatively still, you'll have no problem letting in more light at a slower shutter speed to get great photos
-
It offers image and build quality on par with the 18-55 kit lens, that is to say: sharp images, vibration reduction (which is noticeable at slow shutter speeds), and light weight
-
VR for high zoom is very helpful since I can use a slower shutter speed to increase the exposure
