Just bought me a rebel!

Sweet! I looked at that too, but realized it was to advanced for me. I settled on the powershot sx1is. Point and shoot. Even that's kinda advanced for me though. Congrats and happy shooting.
 
Thanks guys! :D

You will learn faster that way. And I really like that one.

I always use Aperture priority or shutter priority. The only time I find manual useful is if I can't get the look I want with AP or SP. I am also fond of program mode especially when I need to take a quick shot.

It may be easier to use automatic, but you will learn more by doing manual.

AP and SP is not auto, it's more like half manual. AP allows you to set the aperture while the camera sets the shutter speed, and SP allows you to set the shutter while the camera selects the aperture. I don't see how you would learn any better by using full manual. Todays cameras are perfectly capable of selecting the right settings expect for ISO IMO.
 
It's the 500D in Europe, right? I've got the 550D, they're awesome cameras! Have you tried out the video on it yet?

Yeah that looks like the one. Yes I have, hello 1080p recording :)

Not to mention being able to manually focus during video kicks ass.

Yep, I love this camera :D
