Early this summer, I bought a pocket sized Kodak PlaySport ZX5 video camera for a particular project I had in mind.

Vibration Reduction (VR) is Nikon's solution to reducing camera shake when either using longer focal length lenses or slow shutter speeds. The Canon equivalent is Image Stabilisation (IS). In most situations, VR (or IS) is a very good thing.
