I bought a new T6i in May from Adorama.com and I used it for recent trips, took thousand pictures. I upgraded my camera from XS(very old model) but I was so disappointed with T6i: I got focus issue when I used auto mode(some photos were good but some were not, very inconsistent), photos are not sharp

auto mode may operate differently in the T6i than on your old XS, for autofocus. For instance it may use ai-focus instead of one-shot auto focus mode

and the colors are not as good as my iPhone 6 or Nexus 6( I heard Nikon has better color than Canon,

color is very subjective due to the exposure, color settings. You can alter the color setup in your Canon while you can't on your iPhone (except for stupid iPhone bad-photo color filters)

I should have got Nikon instead for the upgrade.) I am not sure if it was because of my bad skill, or if I got a defective camera(or lens). The camera came unsealed(I heard it's normal from Adorama) and for T6i there is no shutter count so I could verify it was really new. Any idea I can now check my camera good or bad? Did I miss something? I appreciate any comments. Thanks!
