"if you were shooting in auto inside that is what happened to me"
Pros: Outside Pics in Auto, P, and scenes great, camera felt great in hand, easy to work loved it until printed pics
Cons: inside underexposed, Nikon told me that if inside color is off or dark you need to shot in Prog. mode
Summary: My first camera went back for underexposure issues in Auto when taken inside. The outside pics were great in Auto. My second camera went back when all reds came out with an orange cast. I have only owned Nikon cameras in the past 4 total, but after Tech support told me that to correct the problem means I have to use Prog. mode only to correct the W.B/ color tone I'm looking into other brand of cameras.

No offense intended, but why would you buy an dSLR camera if you're shooting only in Auto mode? The entire purpose of buying an SLR camera is improved picture quality, much of which comes from the flexibility you get from NOT shooting in Auto mode.
If you want OK to good photos I would stick with a point and shoot cameras (Canon makes a ton of good point and shoot cameras). If you want GREAT pictures then you'll need to learn how to use the flexibility afforded yourself with a more "manual" camera like an SLR - you won't be disappointed, and you'll likely not only never return to a point and shoot, but you'll begin to love your SLR. -
even though they cost a little more, they are always a better camera. the nikon d300 is an absolute beast, but is only typically used by the pros. besides, dslr is all about the conrol. they arent point and shoot, i hate to say this, but it is almost better if you do it yourself. just my 2 cents worth.
