Camera is just a tool........... an artist can still paint well using other brushes. Practice, practice AND more practice is how I learned to take pics. I got my first DSLR 11 years ago and I practiced daily and still do. I only shoot on manual, infact this camera doesn't have an auto setting. I have learned it all myself. Even the "for dummies" books made me cry with frustration. You can learn to compose a shot on any camera, it need not be hundreds of pounds worth. I have 4 cameras and use them all.
