[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 138500, member: 9521"] My personal belief, and take it for what it is, but shutter speeds over 500 are so fast that they are no longer capable of picking up any camera shake, the shutter is simply not open long enough to be affected. So by my reasoning, coupled with the way Nikon advertises their VR products, it's primarily geared for much slower speeds. Nikon uses terms like "..provides you up to four stops of "hand-holdability..."
