@ another DRL thread they all end the same way

there are 3 problems here

- people who don't know how to drive
- dealers that do not give proper instruction in the cars features
- laziness in reading the manual

I got a new camera at the weekend, a full blown digital SLR with adjustable everything. Only a secondhand one but a good one nonetheless.
Being familiar with use of a camera I used it in full Auto mode and it worked well.
When I got home I read the quick start guide and learned some more about the great features and how to configure the camera.
I also leafed through the full handbook and I plan to go out at the weekend with the handbook and explore the full functionality.

If I can do this with a £160 camera why can't people do the same with a £10000 car

OT, what did you get Rob? I tend to keep mine in Auto most of the time as I'm a bit lazy but with digital SLR's you'll get a lot out of playing around with whitebalances and so on.

a Nikon D70 with 18-70mm lens. Looking or a 200mm lens at the mo.
Will probably upgrade to a D90 next year but I thought the D70 would get my foot in the water.
