>They never get the full benefits of any camera they have.<
It’s amazing how much better one’s photos can be if he or she simply sits down with a new camera and reads its manual from cover to cover.
Bryan Peterson’s book “Understanding Exposure” will open up whole new worlds to a person who wants to use something other than the “Auto” or “P” modes on that new DSLR. It’s the best $16.00 you can spend for a good tutorial on how to get more from your camera:

I post quite a bit on Flickr and we are always getting newbs on there asking basic questions that can/could be answered by reading the Manual.
We state "RTFM" Read The F*#$% Manual
But......for the OP. Speaking of Flickr. If you do have any questions about a certain Camera Model that you might purchase or you have already purchased, please do get on Flickr and join groups that are specific to your camera, camera manufacturer, and lens choices. Even join a group on Sports Photography. Tons of info on there and PLEASE, *PLEASE* do a search on/in that group to see if your answer is already in there before posting.
