Hello, as the title say's I am new to the world of DSLR cameras. So far I love it. I can't say the picture quality is any better than the Nikon, but It is likely I am not 'doing it right.' Lol.
I had the same problem when I got my first DSLR (which I still have). Focus is much more critical on a DSLR than a P&S, because the sensor is larger. That shallow depth of field thing works against you if you're used to a small sensor camera where almost everything is in focus.
Post processing will also do a lot more for you with a better camera, especially if you shoot RAW, which you should definitely do. The DPP software that comes with the camera will give you a good start. I think others are easier to use, but there are some real DPP fanatics out there that swear by it.
Read the manual. Play with all the buttons and menu items. Read the manual. Maybe get a book on the camera and/or a book or two on photograph in general. Read the manual. Check out some online instruction videos, or take a class. Read the manual.
Have fun.
Did I mention that you should read the manual?
Also the advantage of the DSLR will show up in low light and other difficult shootingsituations. In perfectconditions, the difference is not that dramatic.
