will VR work properly on D50?

<p>I would like to purchase a 18-105 Vr lens but before spending the money will the camera sense the Vr function and not choose a high iso to compensate for camera shake? the D50 DOES NOT HAVE the feature of choosing the max iso like the d200, etc so i am concerned that iot will still pick a high iso like 1600 regardless of VR or not..?</p>

<p>The D50 (and all Nikon DSLRs) can use VR on VR lenses. You'll have the same effectiveness as you would with any other VR capable body - 1 to 4 stops extra shake resistance depending on the lens, shutter speed and focal length.</p>

<p>VR is great, but be aware, they eat batteries.<br>

My shot average is about 40% less VR Vs Non VR</p>

<p>The D50 might not be able to set a maximum iso , but you can shut the auto-iso feature off and then set the iso you want to use .</p>

<p>The option to automagically up the ISO as a form of "digital VR" is a trick used in some P&S cameras - not to be mistaken for real lens based VR like Nikon and Canon use, or sensor-shift based like Pentax and Sony. In these systems, there are real mechanical tricks going on to eliminate camera shake.</p>

<p>In short: yes, VR will work. And you'll like the 18-105, it is a very nice lens for the money.</p>
