I got a $500 Nikon DSLR about 4 years ago and came to the same conclusion. I usually set it to auto, and I'm astounded by the photo quality that comes out. Occasionally, I'll adjust exposure or focus manually, but for outdoors, auto "just works".

Sometimes I think I should have bought a mirrorless instead, but so long as my Nikon works and I'm satisfied with its quality, I'll keep using it.

I have an oldy Nikon D5000, and I really like it. The biggest bump in terms of photo quality was when I changed from auto-mode to manual mode and learned more about how the camera works and how to shoot what. It is so easy once you get a hang of it and your photos will get a lot better.
