Welcome Dave. Take a look at all of the links in a "sticky" (1st) thread on the Canon EOS Digital Forum. Those will keep you busy for quite some time. As for your second question, the digital rebel is more camera then most folks are able to take full advantage of, anywhere with any lense. Oh yes, and READ THE MANUAL.

I agree with Ilya wholeheartedly. But I must add that once you're done reading the manual, then read the manual. You might actually want to keep the manual in one hand while clicking those links with the other. And when you're at the track and you're waiting for the race to start, that's a good time to read the manual.

I've wasted more time and lost more shots because I only read the manual twice....

You can actually download the 300D manual at Canon's web site in PDF format. That is what I did with the 10D manual. Now if that camera would ever show up...
