I'm not trying to be a dick. You can get a million dollar camera but if you don't know how to use it, in addition to having photographic talent, it's a waste of money.

Think about it like a guitar. You can get a $10k badass guitar with a $10k vintage amp used by insert-rockstar, and another $50k in top of the line recording equipment...

But if you don't know what you are doing, it's all worthless.

What I'm saying is that if you don't know what you want, you don't have the knowledge to make what you want work for you.

No, I get it dude. And you are right. I know my limitations and photography is one. I just know that pointing and clicking a better camera is gonna get me better pics than pointing and clicking my iPhone. I probably will not be able to maximize the camera capabilities, but if it user friendly it will work as I gradually learn to use it. At least that is my hope.

Not entirely true.

With digital photography you aren't as easily limited like you were with film. You can take 50 pics using various settings or even in auto and 1 will probably come out pretty good. You can then use very basic photo editing software to touch up the color and brightness to make a photo pop.

Understanding exposure and framing simply makes the process more efficient and allows you to go from a nice photo to a fantastic shot.
