I would set up a small test to see if the lens (or camera) is in the bad:

• mount a flat paper with any kind of text or high contrast image on the wall
• set the camera on a tripod and focus on that paper on the wall
• switch of VR
• set iso to 200 (or to the lowest you can)
• set aperture to 11
• use Self Timer exposure or if you have remote detonator, use that
• Use good lighting

Because you have set aperture to 11, you should have the paper 100% in the field of focus. If the pic is blurry still, perhaps the lens is faulty.

Do this test with another lens. If the pic still is blurry, it could very well be the camera.

Keep us posted!
