[QUOTE="bluegrassman, post: 685705, member: 45802"] I wanted to reiterate my thanks, and apologize if I got snippy with anyone. Spending that much money (for me) and suddenly not getting the results that I was previously seeing was very stressful to me. Going for a long hike and capturing some photos that I can be proud of is what gets me through. I'm grateful for all of the suggestions. I read them all and I know all of the advice came from a place of trying to help me get better. That is appreciated. I have a theory that the lower end cameras maybe focus more on making the canned modes more "out-of-the-box" for beginning shooters. Your average person wanting to take decent shots isn't going to shell out the money for a higher end camera. Once you get into the higher tiers, I think the expectation may be that you don't need as much handholding and they perhaps don't make it their primary focus to make those modes idiot-proof.
