Irwells, you will not regret it. If you don't learn anything else, learn the "automatic" settings for the different effects. I had no idea that I could take pictures in black and white with my camera until my brother showed me...then I was fascinated! I love to take pictures of my garden, and love to have the digital to keep records for me. A photo record makes it pretty nice to ID one of your hundreds of daylily varieties when the dogs have stolen the tag! I was frustrated that I couldn't capture the true color of my flowers, and then someone told me about the foilage setting....what a difference! Now my pictures are almost always true to color! To give you a perfect example...this is not the nicest bloom, but am using it in one of my daylily crosses so wanted to be sure to document it's first flower open. I worked late so the light was poor (foilage setting has a very slow shutter speed and turns the flash off...makes it hard to get a focused picture in low light) so I took one picture on normal mode to make sure that I had one that wasn't blurry.

This is Cheirno in normal mode:
