Chris, I know it's been said before, but as with everything, I would be amazed if anyone picked up a new camera without using one before and automatically knew all of the modes. Just read the manual if you get a chance, play with the camera and get used to how things come out, that's the joy of digital. I've had my 350D (Rebel XT) since mid May last year and I still havn't read the manual or go exploring much through the modes. If you like how things come out with the auto mode, by all means, keep shooting that way. As you get more comfterble with the camera go through and try the new things as you see fit.
