I'd say that about 90% of all complaints about a true DSLR camera is due to user error or user misunderstanding. Some come from film with no digital experience and expect the camera to behave exactly as their faithful old film camera did. Others come from point-and-shoot digital cameras where the camera took care of 90% of the work for you. DSLRs are complex tools that require the user to understand what it is they are doing and what it is they want to do. Reminds me of a message on one of the other photography forums I'm on. The person had just plunked down around $3000 on a EOS 10D, 24-70mm 2.8L and accessories. They were complaining profusely about the poor photo quality of the 10D and how soft the photos it took were. When asked by someone what depth of field they were trying to achieve in one of the images, the person responded with "What do you mean by depth of field?" -=>Donald
