Severely underwhelming K-3ii

Thanks for all the responses. If  I came across kinda harsh, I apologize. I'm the kinda guy that watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon LIVE, and I figure with today's technology, right outta the box the camera should do a LOT better. I mean you buy a new car these days and they drive themselves!  So this shouldn't be so hard.

As far as "likes" go, or snide remarks, I could care less, really. I don't have facechat or twitterbook. My life doesn't revolve around how others percieve me. Let's just leave it at that.

There are a lot of great suggestions, and I'll calibrate the lenses tomorrow, then make a list of all the things I gotta do to get things dialed in.  I know this will take time, but I want to be sure to get great shots in Colorado, cuz this may be the only oppotunity to get there.

Next year I plan on going to Arizona, and my best friend, a photographer, lives there. He can definitely give me some tips.

Thanks agian for the criticisms...good or bad. I'm a big boy, with very thick skin. I'm the kinda guy that tells it like it is...brutally honest. I've *self-edit* a lot of people off that way, but made some great friends cuz I don't sugar coat things. If people ask my opinion, I'll usually preface it by asking them if they REALLY want to know. Then let the chips fall where they may.

There's a lifetime of learning represented here at this forum, and for that I am truly greatful.
