Your focus points (where and how the camera chooses what to focus on) and your lens could be the problem and not the camera.

Depending on lighting and the speed of your lens, you could miss shots because there isn't enough light to "grab" something to focus on.

If you've never used a DSLR before, you may want to shoot a lot of stuff just to become familiar with how the camera works.
