Actually the Nikon VR issue occurs at shutter speeds of around 1/160th sec. on the AF-S 70-300mm, both on the D7100 and the D750, the D750 has a clacky/slappy shutter sound that's quite loud which in my view produces very little vibration, obviously the D7100 has less.

 The Tamron 150-600mm suffers from softness at higher shutter speeds at the long end, but is sharper at slower shutter speeds. It seems strange that the VC can seriously reduce sharpness even at 1/2,000 sec.

Don't forget their issues with the 300/4 PF E, still not solved - but maybe those lens has a different approach and they also communicate that: It makes no sense using VR on a tripod, but it makes a lot sense even at the cost of little motion blur to get some pictures without tripod you simply would not get without VR. Obviously not the best or flawless tech, but a very good help in aspects of "better than nothing".   

 

But no doubt that M5 will sell in huge numbers, what Canon lacks in technicalities, it more than makes up for in marketing!

When the 5D II was introduced, I heard from a Canon user "that's the camera the 5D should have been" before she got a D800 and sold the 5D - but kept her 7D.   Now a user commented on DPReview pretty similar the same thing about the M5 and in his eyes Canon's lack of innovations. 

 

Opinion: The EOS M5 is Canon's best ever mirrorless camera, and a big disappointment 

 

It already got 625 comments, so maybe everything was already said.

 

However, comparing D800 against D810 I could say exactly the same "is the camera that it's predecessor should have been". Working in a machine manufactury, I see a lot of things like this and it's contradictory: When a new camera or lens comes out, no matter how good it is , a lot of people complain or find it too expensive - the last I read in this aspect was Toni-A regarding a not even announced 85/1.4 Art. We expect outstanding performance, but are not willing to pay for it. That's fine, but not a reason to complain.
