The camera's in-built computer assumes you are happy with the mediocre. But if you want to go beyond that in the name of creativity, then you can.

I don't understand all the fiddly bits (iso etc.)even though I went to courses.
I can't doing with the stress of it all, just point and shoot and fiddle afterwards.

Point & shoot is what I do too, have tried using other settings but really don't understand how to use them.

Re: do you need an expensive DSLR camera ?
Well it was on your recommendation (RS) that I went and bought my Canon SX 60S a few years ago.I love it. I have fiddled with the bits, but like others have said I find set to auto and it does the job for me.
I do play with the other bits sometimes, just making minor adjustments when needed.
But like the whole worlds population, it is so easy to ‘snap’ with my iPhone.
