I am very surprised at the suggestions that sharp images can regularly result with a 200mm lens hand held at 1/60 Sec, even with VR. 1/500 Sec would be my choice, or a (solid) tripod.
I set out to prove you wrong Robert....and failed miserably
I had to search long and hard for an example taken at 200mm with slow shutter speed. It seems that either the lighting or my instinct to use faster shutter speeds have conspired to present no examples.......except one!
I am not sure if this can show anything given the downsampling for the website but this one was taken at 1/50th. (the right side is the ex camera original and the left has been sharpened a tad).
Compared to other shots taken on the same day in better lighting (so shutter speeds faster than 1/300th) this one DOES look softer.
So I am coming to the opinion, that you are right (oh that hurts!) and even with VR you can see a difference between 1/60th and 1/300th.
Of course the monkey could have twitched as I took it?
