    Turning off VR on my next outing...

    On my next outing to go plane spotting, i am going to turn VR off on my 55-200. I have pretty steady hands and most of my shots will be between 135 to about 180. I will be panning from left to right or vice versa. I want to see how the pictures come out as opposed to having VR on. Anyone...

    People who buy way to much camera

    I was not sure where to put this, so please move it to the appropiate place if need be. I will start by saying that i am by no means a pro photog. and i have boat loads to learn. I also don't want this to come off as being kind of snobish. My first DLSR over a year ago was a D3000 and then i...
