Good Point

"Here we are with all this power and flexibility, and we can't get past AUTOMATIC. Why? It's tempting to just write it off as a usability flaw. But that's not the case with my camera--the Nikon D200 is dead easy to adjust. For most of us, the problem was NOT that we couldn't learn how to use anything but automatic "P" mode. The problem was that we didn't know why or when to use anything else."

-This is a very good point. We're all capable of using our products, and we're also eager to figure out all of its features, but we simply don't know the appropriate times to use certain features. It's a problem of understanding, not usability.
