Hi chrispie
First thing I would recommend is to buy a good tripod, then go out and find some decent landscapes and practice like mad, taking shots at various zoom settings just to see what the camera is really capable of. I reckon you'll be surprised at the quality of shot you can get with this camera. I'm not sure how close your camera can focus on a subject, but I would try doing a few close up shots of flowers etc, try a few portraits. Concentrate on using the tripod as much as possible, there's very few situations where you can't get better results by using one!
Another thing, read everthing you can get your hands on about photography and the subjects you intend to photograph.
