Thanks for your first impressions. After reading some of your initial comments, I think you need to give the camera some more time. There's a learning curve. The only auto function that I'll use is the auto ISO setting. That's handy when the sun comes in and and out of the clouds. But I wouldn't use the auto mode that you talked about; normally I use aperture or manual priority. That gives us more control.

Oh don't worry, I know how to use it!  I'll be using it exactly how I used the 400D, normally set to "P" with just the centre focus point active.  This was really an experiment to see if the auto modes had become any more useful in the last decade.  I was actually surprised to find that these "smart" modes are still just as useless, considering how much time has passed - but it's not a problem as the camera has many improvements that make it a very worthwhile purchase, and I know I'll get lots of good photos using the less-smart settings.
