My buddy suggested shooting in Av mode most of the time, so I've been playing around with that, and it makes sense for the most part. I'm trying to avoid going to auto mode if I can help it, but will if I need to. I hadn't actually considered using it to see what the camera thinks the settings should be - good tip.
I'm trying to figure out how I should travel with the camera - if I should buy a bag/backpack of some sort. The ones I've looked at are pretty spendy, though.
I also want to find a very small, portable tripod, if it exists. Don't want to lug anything big around, but would like something small for the occasional longer exposure, if need be...
