No idea about the tripod sensing VR bit, but i tried it at the Nikon Roadshow in Malaysia. Darned sharp, and the VR works as advertised. Had a TC-20 mounted on for the sake of it and it was usable handheld @ 400mm, 1/60

I am not saying I am a super hero by any means but the “shaky” 1/13 VR shot looks a little exaggerated…. I can get significantly better results than that.

This is a review from a fanboy who raves about nothing touches his old lens and claims the new lens is a big improvement. Lets be honest of it is that good then no one will need to use prime lens is it? Get real…..
I shoot Canon with the EF 70-200 f2.8L IS. My observation based on the photos are the vigniting is improved, better than Canon. The stabalising much depend on the user but I can shoot 1/13th pretty still with my Canon. Sharpness wide open is rather dissapointing and not near as sharp as Canon. The EF 70-200 f2.8L IS is known to be soft wide open compared to other Canon lens in this zoom range so I do find it quite surprising Nikon has not bettered this with its new lens.
