I'm a very, very basic user, so I am excited about this camera! Has anyone ever taken a photography course with one of these?
What are your favorite features?

Thanks! I just bought the book in PDF format and now I'm having a few small regrets...wish I would have spent the money and gotten the actual book, too. I just found out it would cost $77 to print in color at Staples. Too bad I don't have a color printer at work!!!

Also, look at Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson (http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-Photographs-Digital-Updated/dp/0817463003/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196372652&sr=8-1). The best book for beginners.
