It's strange how some people have no problems and others seem to be cursed. But I've seen that over the years with a lot of Apple's products. I've rarely ever had issues. Luck of the draw?

"You could buy 4 Acers for the price of 1 Mac." And long after that fourth Acer bites the dust, the Mac will still be running. These are the same complaints we have been hearing from the anti-Apple crowd for years. Heck, I would love to be able to buy a Mac Pro for $1,000, but it just isn't going to be. Apple is all about making great products while making a great profit. That's why they are where they are today. That's just the way it is.

I would suggest getting some books on digital photography. It really doesn't matter what camera you use if you don't know the basic principals. I use a Canon SD450 Elph compact and a Canon XT SLR. Both are capable of taking fine pictures within their limitations, but only if I do my part. I agree that many cameras are more difficult to use than need be, mostly due to the poorly structured menu interface. It may be helpful if you try using your camera in a manual mode setting and experiment in different degrees of lighting. Try different ISO levels to see at what point the digital noise becomes too objectionable. If possible, try a black & white mode in low light levels; this can sometimes help greatly. Modern cameras are amazing tools, capable of wonderful things. Many a great photo has been made over the last century with far less sophisticated and capable equipment. Try to learn as much as possible BEFORE you are going to take valuable and irreplaceable photos. A little trial and error before hand can make all the difference in the world. After all, it costs nothing to take and delete as many bad pix as needed to learn to do it right. _________________ Now, as for my wish for an Apple produced product: I would like for them to make a color laser all-in-one printer. As it is now, most of these things have a hodgepodge of thrown together software that is truly mediocre. Many of the so called features turn out to only work with Windows. I was about to order one recently that had Windows and Mac support, but luckily found some user reviews that stated the scanning software did not work with Macs. What a crock of crappola. I think Apple could remedy this if they made their own printer or teamed with one of the makers to produce to Apple's specifications. I sure would buy one.
