Is there a site or guide somewhere that can explain basic things to me about SLR cameras? Specifically CANON DSLR cameras.

Things like AI SERVO, ONE SHOT, Flash sync, Fill Flash, Matrix Metering, those terms are things I have no clue about. Is there a beginners guide or anywhere I can look to get started?

Thanks. :p

There are some basic tutorials here (http://www.photoworkshop.com/canon/index.html). Click on the Digital Rebel tab and then "Tutorials".

Bob Atkins (http://bobatkins.photo.net/photography/) site has alot of info ... and it's very Canon-centric.
