Hi,
I see you've received quite a lot of advice already so will try not to repeat it.
One of the great advantages of digital is that you can take as many shots as you like & it costs you nothing. I would recommend learning how to use "manual" mode. My own personal "workflow" for taking landscapes is:
Set iso to lowest,
small aperture (I own a prosumer too so F5.6 on mine)
set "spot metering" - sometimes in high contrast shots the "evaluative / average" metering modes can cause underexposure
in "aperture priority" mode I meter the different areas of the shot & make a mental note
change to "manual" mode, make sure apertures at F5.6 and then I take a series of shots, all at different shutter speeds.
when you get back to the PC you'll pretty much always find that the shot with the least noise is the one longest exposure.
hope this helps
