[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 500823, member: 16749"] It's not at all out of the realm of normal possibility for someone to be able to handhold a camera at a tenth of a second, especially with VR. Some people are better than others and holding a camera still. I can consistently do so at 1/10 of a second without any trouble, even without VR, though some others may not be able to. That is a weird thing about the EXIF display on this site. You have to pay attention when you read the shutter speed. I took this as a challenge. The two following pictures were taken handheld, at an exposure time of one second. First with VR, and then without. I did make a point of arranging myself into a particularly stable position—sitting in a chair, my feet up on a footstool, my elbows resting on my knees, and the camera in my hands. No other support. It only occurred to me later that I ought to have paid attention to the focal length to which my lens was zoomed. Having it out at 18mm would have been cheating. EXIF data say that it was at 29mm, which is well within a “[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_lens"]normal lens[/URL]” range for this camera.
