An outstanding camera for both amateurs and professionals; it's easy to forget that, 30–50 years ago, such sophisticated technology did not exist, and to appreciate the impact that early digital photography had on the art form. Negativity, then, stems from people being unable or unwilling to apply or acquire the necessary skills. If you study the manual and invest in a few of books on photography's fundamentals — specifically, the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and exposure correction — you should have a pleasant experience with your camera. The capacity to press the shutter button is separate from the ability to snap photographs.
