Well, if the photographer had skill, he would not have put the sun in the background lol. But sure, I see your point. Like I said you have to know your equipment and I am afraid we change cameras so often, me also, that we never get to really know how to utilize their strengths and overcome their weakness.
In the days of film cameras, we kept the same one for years and years. We could operate them in our sleep. It led to better results than we probably do even now with better equipment. Switching brands doesn't help much either.
