This[1] talk is kind of old, and I'm sure bash now has some of the features only zsh had at the time, but it should give you a feel for how zsh differs from and improves on bash. Another thing I suggest doing is joining #zsh on freenode, and asking your questions there. Yet another thing you could do is skim through the zsh user's guide[2], which is also kind of old, but is pretty comprehensive (for the time), and will give you more of a feel for what zsh can do. zsh's man pages are also very comprehensive (and huge), and might be worth a peek.
