No longer a newbie, moving up!
I only had about 5 minutes to test the 70-20 f2.8 VR zoom. I think it is working OK. When I depress the shutter release I get the usual focusing motor which stops and and I get a rather quiet additional motor that keeps going until the shutter fires. I was expecting the viewfinder to get wiggly but it doesn't.
The first shots below are made beyond the capability of the VR system. 200mm focal length, f2.8 1/8 sec. The first one is without and the second one with VR enabled. Below that is a shot that is within the VR capabilities - 200mm, f22 1/60 sec. It looks like it is sharper than I would be able to handhold normally. Am I getting what I should expect?
