I've been meaning to do this for awhile. I figure since a lot of people probably got new DSLRs under the Christmas tree, now is as good of time as any to give some basic, but useful tips.
These will hopefully help new DSLR photographers get better, sharper images quicker.
As far as I know, these should work with the entire Digital Rebel line: 300D, 350 (XT) and 400D (XTi) Some are applicable to all DSLR.

This German proverb means: “Order is non-negotiable”. I’ve use it because Germans are considered to be the main experts in this kind of thing. A phrase not very in accord with modern reality, but that’s another story. At the core this rule is absolutely right. With digital cameras you are able to produce much more photos than with film, and it means you’re going to be looking for particular shots in a huge collection, which is no trivial matter.
The growth of digital photography to a wide community of amateurs has brought about the development of a new class of software: image managers. These programs look like a hybrid of file manager, database engine and image viewer/editor. Some programs like Adobe Photoshop have more editing functions, other like XNview - have more for file management, but all three components are present.

It is relatively safe to buy used lenses at a camera shop because you can personally inspect them before buying. However, the lure of online auctions cannot be denied. Online auctions or sales open up a huge number and variety of lenses to you. You will no longer be restricted to the limited number as well as quality of used lenses available at your local camera shops.
Of course, while there’s a much wider range of used lenses to choose from online, they also come in a wide variety of conditions. For example, if you are looking for the popular Nikkor AF-S 80-200mm ED-IF lens, you will find quite a few being sold in eBay at any one time. However, they are not all the same. If you check each auction out, you will see that they range from brand-new lenses to broken lenses that can only be used as spare parts.
