That's a great site, bookmark it; they have a ton of great articles there. I've just started using RAW myself as a recent DSLR convert & love it. I'm able to get the image much closer to how I want it before even opening up PS. The only downside is file size and the extra time to process--though I except that to reduce as I get more familiar with the process & the tools.
If you're going to play with RAW files, be sure to check out Pixmantec's RawShooter. |

The SB-800 has better power.
As far as the lenses go, you really should determine first the type of shooting that you will be doing. Don't worry about tele converters just yet.
A great lens to start would be the 70-200 f/2.8 AF-S VR. This is a very heavy lens so take that into consideration. You don't want to be lugging it around your neck.
