Remember using VR will drain the battery quicker than non VR have you notice it?
Broadband users won't complaint about the viewing of those photos but pity for the dial-upers

Birddog,
Haven't yet noticed the extra battery drain, but I was already aware of this. Shot about 100 images today and yesterday with no noticeable effect on the battery thus far.
Steve,
yes, this lens is even impressing me.

The 70-200Vr drains the juice more on VR
mode, in comparison with non VR lens or non VR
mode, perhaps the 24-120VR is just small lens and once you shoot at an event using VR on 70-200 still last you a day on a D70. With VR lenses, I recommend have the second battery on standby in any shooting event.

I also have the 24-120 VR and it is a great walking around lens. I shot 150+ on Sunday and the battery didn't go further than the first little-block-thingy.
Cheers

As it happens, I shot well over 200 on Sunday, and my battery meter did'nt even blink.
And welcome, Deano.
