Question:

Where can I learn how to use my Canon Rebel XT to it's fullest capability?

I bought a Canon Rebel XT and I've had it for almost a year now. I want to learn how to use it to it's fullest ability. I want to take beautiful pictures that look professional. I have bought a few books to help me learn, but to be honest, they are just as confusing as the camera. Any tips or references for this newbie?

I would say pull out your camera, manual sit down and go over all the buttons and knobs etc.. this is the best way for you to learn what your camera can do.

I would suggest learning "M" (manual), you have more control with that setting than any other. The others do half or all of your thinking.. those are then more like "snapshots".
