[QUOTE="dramtastic, post: 229877, member: 16805"] VR IMO is overrated and is a nice way for the manufacturers to ramp up their prices. Why do I say this? Because I have two lenses that have no VR/OS and one that does. I shoot hand held 95% of the time and see no difference in IQ at slower shutter speeds between the one with OS(VR) and the one's that don't. Maybe if I go down to 1/60th there would be a reduced tendency for camera shake blur but at those speeds I usually have the camera mounted on a tripod anyway. One of my lenses weighs 1.5kgs so all up on the body about 2.2kgs. I shoot hand held at 1//125th no problem. It doesn't even cross my mind to wish I had VR. The other reason I think VR is mostly a money making marketing tool is the fact that Pentax has shown that you can have in body VR. You wouldn't have to spend all the extra cash on VR lenses if Nikon and Canon did the same, but they don't want that. [/QUOTE]
