Been shooting for many years and could care less about the cost of the gear. Not a gear snob. Today, earlier, accosted by a somewhat reactive OP who suggested otherwise. So, here are some images, with the INEXPENSIVE 18-140dx, taking while shooting events, one wedding shot etc. Some with the INEXPENSIVE Nikon SB-400 flash for fill. That said, shooting an event, low light, no flash, faster glass ie 24-70 2.8 or 70-200 2.8 makes a huge difference; but, in the right light, Nikon kit lenses perform very well IMHO

The lens you appear to be using are are cheap in not having the $$ features like metal construction, fast f-stops, great distortion control, etc., but in reality are custom made to perform very well when paired with certain Nikon cameras.
As your pictures prove, they work superbly in most every day situations with a reasonable amount of light, and software often covers up some of the defects baked in to medium priced lens. When I pay hundreds of dollars for a lens it is not inexpensive.

Most of the time if you want to know if a camera produces the results you want, you will need to look between the four corners of the photographs you get from it. From my position, your camera seems to be doing just fine.

The thing is ...
camera gear is great! Bodies are durable and packed with features. Lenses are amazing.
