I have a Canon Digital Rebel Xti and both the full Photoshop and Elements programs. I've found using the Canon in manual mode (usually shutter priority) and burst photo mode along with max .jpg ( plus RAW format) allows me to get great controlled action shots of almost anything ( sole exception so far has been internal shots of turbo generator running at 1800 RPM, trying to catch blade deformation) I almost always need only use the Elements program as it can do 85 to 90 percent of what Photoshop does. And costs considerably less! The range of lenses are great for the Canon series of (D)SLRs. Just play around, great thing about digital is no film developement costs, so more is better!
