It was never meant to be pulled out of the box and, just shot as is.
OMG no... and no one knows that better than I.
The first 2 weeks I had the D200, I could not even get a single shot that was in focus becuase I did not know the camera nor how to optimize it's settings. A quick order to Thom Hogan and 2-3 days with his PDF e-book and I had some *drastic* positive improvements.
I know we say that no camera is "out of bounds" for a new dSLR user, and I still agree with that, however, the higher up the scale you go, the mode demanding things get. Things do not get easier the more you spend, they increase in complexity exponentially. Sure you can give a D3x to someone that never held a camera and they can use it... but they will never get satisfactory results out of it until they improve their knowledge of photography and master the intricacies of their camera.
