Even though this lens isn't particularly fast the VR system is good enough to get a sharp image. The image above was taken at 30mm (81mm equiv) with a shutter speed of 1/160 which is double the rule of thumb. So some of you might say that is no great feat, but the street was in shadow and was darker than the image implies. You may be right though and this doesn't prove how good the VR system really is. I might have to take some low light images to see just how good it is. But then noise does tend to creep in at higher ISO values.
The image was taken at f5.6 and as you can see the image is sharp from foreground to infinity, a great advantage of the smaller sensors, you don't have to stop way down to get the depth of field you want.
