[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 367911, member: 13090"] I don't pretend to have a grip on the technical aspects but from my experience I find I get better shots, meaning sharper shots, overall when I leave VR turned off. I believe VR to be a very specific solution to a very specific problem, not a general purpose "set it and forget it" feature. Try turning VR off and see for yourself. My recipe for sharp shots looks like this: VR is OFF if shooting a Nikon lens that supports it unless there is some VERY GOOD reason for me to have it on. As soon as that need passes, it's turned OFF again. Quiet Shutter Mode unless I'm convinced I'm going to need to shoot in Continuous Mode which I rarely do. Shutter speed equates to twice the focal length. Shooting at 100mm means a minimum 1/200s shutter speed. I shoot at as high an ISO as required to stick to this guideline.
