I agree with you about the skills of the photographer re the quality of the picture.
I've been shooting with a "bridge" for a number of years now and currently own the Canon SX50. I don't know whether you're familiar with it but it's capable of taking some pretty nice pictures. It has the P,S,A and M modes so I'm quite familiar with in fact I use or did use the manual setting quite a lot.
During the years I've been using a digital I've always wanted to try using a DSLR but circumstances haven't given me the opportunity to do so and now I have my own Nikon D3300. I've seen some very very good pictures on the web which I think non DSLR cameras would be trying hard to achieve although with the some of the new "system" camera's they're coming pretty close. I'm really looking for the size and resolution so I can process them (crop etc) without losing too much of the original quality..
The biggest thing I have a problem the moment with the Nikon is actually taking a photo in the different modes the camera has to offer. Going back and forth between the view finder and the LCD display is proving to be difficult, the fact that my eyes aren't what they used to be doesn't help there either. With the EVF on my Canon everything was there, I could do any adjustments and see it live as it was happening. That's a pretty hard thing to loose.
A simple step by step piece of advice on how you manage all those settings that appear on the rear monitor when I take a picture would be nice. I can find them alright and can just about navigate through them all but applying them to my picture seems to be a bit tricky. I'm afraid I've been spoilt by my bridge camera and it's ease of use as a result of the EVF.
I've attached a few of my Canon photos if you care to look. My Nikon photos are only practice one's taken in Auto mode so far.
