Read the Book or Take a course

( - 3/22/05)

I've now had the 5700 for about a year. I was a little intimidated by all the controls and settings. Until I really familiarized myself I was just taking average pictures and making mistakes.
The auto focus is slow and hunts a lot losing the moment. Taking pictures at an air show or car race is not a job for an amateur with this camera. This is just like your computer how much do you actually use and how much do you know, The owners manual is thick. Who reads that all the way through? Reviewing your mistakes in the book or taking a digital photography course will make the camera shine. I now compare my pictures with what I had in the beginning and what a difference. If you don't know what an F-stop is this camera is not for you. No beginners Please.
