[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 479612, member: 13090"] The focal length/shutter speed thing is a general "rule of thumb" for all photography, not just in low-light situations and personally, I adhere to it [I]slavishly[/I]. On full-frame cameras the rule is shutter speed should equal (or exceed) focal length while DX bodies need to use 1.5 or 2x the focal length which compensates for the crop-factor. There are several things you can do to improve overall sharpness and most of them are technique related. One other thing that won't hurt overall image sharpness is using "Q" Mode (Quiet Shutter) which reduces mirror slap. Nikon's VR is a very specific solution to a very specific problem. Many people treat VR like they do their Ronco Showtime Rotisserie, "Set it... And forget it!" which simply does not work in my experience. Used incorrectly VR can cause as many (or more) problems as it solves. I very rarely engage VR and when I do it's because of very specific circumstances; once VR is no longer needed, the option is turned off. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
