[QUOTE="10 Gauge, post: 461886, member: 39102"] Doesn't the D3100 have that intelligent auto mode where it walks you through the kind of photo's you are about to take on the screen and adjusts the parameters accordingly (ie. if telling it you're shooting sports it will maintain a quick shutter speed, etc etc). As has been mentioned by pretty much everyone above the advantage of owning a DSLR is the ability to control your shots manually, which means you need to know the basics about photography. If your shots are coming out blurry, there's two possible reasons. Either you have your AF settings borked up in some way, or your shutter speed is too slow for what you're shooting. Are your images motion blurred or actually out of focus? If motion blurred, you might want to start playing with shutter priority mode and dial up your shutter speed to 1/250 or higher, this should help you stop motion. Auto mode is really pants, you'll get far less good shots in auto than using the camera in some kind of manual mode when you're setting it up for the given shots you are taking. Auto isn't really all that "smart". [/QUOTE]
