VR and IS exist in both cameras and lenses. These systems can work together or be independent. The type depends on the lens, camera body and brand. Tripods , gimbals, and other mounts are an option, but the majority of camera use is handheld. As such, image stabilization can become an essential feature. VR or IS is usually only available on particular lenses. These lenses tend to be either zoom or macro lenses. Zooming and narrower aperture create the need for IS or VR. Most fixed focal length lenses have a wide enough aperture that Vibration Reduction is not needed.
There are different kinds of image stabilization systems. The most common are optical, dual and internal gyroscope stabilization. These ensure that the sensor remains in the same position at all times, preventing blur. Internal gyroscopes float the sensor on a gyroscope-type mechanical system. They keep the sensor floating in the same spot. Optical stabilization uses hardware to eradicate image shake.
Digital stabilization, as the name implies, uses software to correct camera shake. Dual stabilization is when you pair a lens with image stabilization and a camera with internal stabilization. Which system is better?
It depends on the camera itself. None are perfect, but neither is better than the other. The camera or lens gets built with what will work best. Each camera brand has its own patented design to stabilize photographs. This is great for those that photograph concerts or low light conditions. Two sensors inside the lens can sense movement. Those who have tried to photograph a flying bird while their camera sits on a tripod will understand the frustration.
When you are shooting with a tripod and remote release landscapes for example , you should turn off the lens VR and IS settings to achieve sharper images. But the benefits of Nikon VR aren't limited to shutter speeds. Consider shooting on an overcast day at a medium ISO where greater depth-of-field might be desirable. And having up to four stops to work with also offers the possibility of shooting at lower ISO settings, thus maximizing image quality.
