How can you tell if a lens is full frame?

If the lens’ title has “EF” (no S) in it, then you can use that lens on either full frame or crop frame sensor cameras. For Nikon, if you see “DX” in the title, the lens is for crop frame DSLRs only. If it has “FX” in the title, the lens was designed for full frame (but can also be used on crop frames).

What is vibration compensation?

Vibration compensation technology delivers sharply focused photographs even in situations where camera vibration often occurs, such as in low light or when using the telephoto range of a zoom lens. It also enables you to use subject movement to good effect, bringing out the contrast between motion and stillness.

Is vibration reduction the same as image stabilization?

While the naming convention is different, they all mean the same thing. Canon uses the term “Image Stabilization” (IS) for their lenses, Nikon uses the term “Vibration Reduction” (VR) for their lenses and other companies like Sigma use the term “Optical Stabilization” (OS).
