True the D610 and the D810 require more care to avoid camera shake, but as I learned with the D610, it has realy good high ISO, compared to D2x etc. and so in most cases the problem is solved with higher shutter speeds.

The old 1/focal length, as a minimum handheld for me is now 1/focal length x2. This would be 1/100 sec for a 50mm lens.

Consider also that these cameras are quite large and with practice easy to hand hold at lower speeds especially with VR on, which should only be used at low shutter speeds or it causes shake.

An small light ASP/C format 24mg pix will give as much or more shake than a D810 in similar circumstances.
