Stop moaning and go out and learn to be a better skilled photographer
It's all down to technique with what you've got.

At the end of the day we either use what we have to the best of our ability (admittedly some people use it better than others) or we sell up and change to another system that will ( hopefully) get us the shots we want.
Canon gear is all well and good but it's certainly no quick fix, I did notice an interesting looking 200-500mm lens announced from Nikon today though.

People sometimes compare the current DA and FA limited lenses to the old "M" series lenses but the old manual lenses are far, far more solid than anything manufactured now.
This is part of the consumer/throw-away culture but then, if all lenses cost as much as Leica ones there would be very few photographers around.

My af-s 85mm af didn't work out the box and took three returns to get working again. Once they did fix it it's great.
I guess cameras and lenses are getting that technical now that there will be problems regardless of brand...

I always use a hood and like you say unless you buy an expensive one he only thing you are going to do is degrade image quality

This is one of the fastest readers you can buy. (£9.29 post free) Up to 90MB/s on USB 3.0 (slower on USB2) plus the card goes in facing upwards I have another reader which is nearly as fast, but it's a pain having to remember to turn the card upside down every time I use it so I now just use the Transcend.

Is there not an SD card reader built into the computer? That is what I have always used for several years now, in several different Windows computers.
Cheers.
