1. You're doing great.

You won't believe how much fun you're going to have.

2. Any good beginner books?

I'd like to get to know the settings better.

3. One good resource is Photography-On-The.Net

Photography-On-The.Net is a forum comprised of mostly Canon shooters, with skill level ranging all the way from beginners to pros who have been shooting for years.

10. Great so far

Once you get past the basics of understanding the settings, I loved this book

The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby

He has more volumes but I haven't had the chance to see the others

You will never go back It is nice to have a camera on my phone for the anytime-anywhere convenience of it. But there is nothing like the speed and control of a dslr. I always tell people....phones take pictures, cameras take photographs
