Hello everybody

I have recently bought a Nikon D5100 with the kit lens 18-55mm VR and also a 55-200mm VR lens. Both are DX lenses.

I find that the VR is not as effective as I thought it would be. If I take a picture at 200mm focal length with a shutter speed of 1/60 without VR and another one with VR turned on, the picture with VR turned on is less blurry  -but not razor sharp. I have focussed correctly. I have taken the picture after half pressing the shutter release and then wait for the image to stabilise.

Should I use this VR feature at all or better not to use this feature and go for a tripod. But I like to hand hold most of the times. So I bought these VR featured lenses. Am I doing something wrong to get shaky pictures with even the VR switched ON.

Thanks in advance
