You can always find situations where some device doesn't do exactly what you would prefer.
My philosophy is to find the situations where the device does exactly what I need, and work around or avoid the situations where it's not exactly the right thing. I buy a couple of different devices to cover the situations where one is deficient. By adopting this philosophy, I find myself complaining about stuff a lot less: looking for how cameras are really very good, and for what they do, rather than worrying about how they're crappy or not to my taste.
