After almost a year of use, I can say: those who give bad marks to this device here either do not know the basic concepts of photography, or they were unlucky with a particular instance, or they shot all their lives on L-ki, and now they picked up a whale and shout " horror!". At first, I was also a little disappointed - now I understand that I simply did not know how to shoot at the time of buying the first 1000D DSLR. Want "ringing sharpness" when shooting landscapes? Set the aperture to F/11, ideally a tripod, even if it's bright, a cable release and ISO100 - and you'll see that this friend is capable of a lot :) Do you want portraits, macro? Read forums, books by the same Scott Kelby for example. and you will understand that not always cheap means bad!
