VR is the Nikon term, IS is the Canon term Personally, I hate VR/IS for panning or rolling shots. I've played with all the different modes/combos of settings and I still get better shots without VR. I can pan an 80mph car handheld at 1/60 (160mm++) and get better results with VR off than with it on.
huh, thanks for the tip!

wonder why they even bothered to put the VR/IS feature on, huh? ....
