By doing so, you can add noise. Paying extra for VR is worth it in my opinion. Without it (as has been mentioned) means you need to keep your shutter speed up high. The longer the lens, the higher the shutter speed needed. I have a permanent arm injury so it's difficult for me to take clean, sharp photos without using a tripod. And if I'm using a DX body, a tripod is a MUST for me. I've had some luck when shooting FX with the VR on providing I'm not zoomed out long, but if I'm shooting over 200mm, I pretty much need to use a tripod or make sure my shutter speed is very fast.</blockquote>
