Can't get my camera and flash trigger system to work?
I own a Nikon d5100 and a SB-400 flash and recently bought the Promaster Trigger system. The flash does NOT want to go off. I want to use it with an umbrella and sync it to my camera. Can anyone help? I'm new at photography and have no experience with trigger systems.

Nikon D7000 Frames per second promblem?
I have my Nikon D7000 set on continuous high and I think I have it set to take 6 frames per second, but when I press the shutter release button the camera only takes a single frame still. Any ideas of what might be over riding my settings or what I might be missing?

People have said just push lv but it still only takes pictures is there a setting it needs to be on?

I use a nikon d5100 camera. When I viewed photos from the camera's LCD display, they looks well saturated, colourful and vibrant. However when viewed from a computer display they look somewhat dull with less saturation. I tried with several computer monitors as well as a LED TV display. But the result is the same. What will be wrong. I'm not an advanced photographer but I have a basic knowledge to handle a DSLR. Is it a problem with my photography skills and techniques? How can i overcome this problem?

I currently have an 18mm to 55mm lense. I want to find a good lense that would get good crisp photo's of my 2 year old son. I currently use a nikon d3000 and it does me fine. If someone could recommend a lense that would suit this purpose?

Looking for a good walk around lens (50mm)?
I enjoy taking photos as a hobby. I wouldn't say I'm and excellent photographer or anything, but I really enjoy doing it! I have a Nikon D3100 with a kit lens (18-55mm) and a 55mm-200mm zoom lens. I want to get just a basic walk around lens to use when I'm on vacation and just out and about.
I was thinking a 50mm lens with a low f-stop (like f/1.8 or something like that).So I went to Nikon's website to look, and there are 5 or so different 50mm lenses, all for different prices.
I just want a lens I can use to take good quality photos of people, places, and things while I wander around and stuff. It doesn't have to be amazing, just good. If anyone could tell me what lens specifically would be good for me, I would really appreciate it!

Canon G15 vs Nikon D3200 15-55mm kit for Jewelry Macro?
Thanks in advance to those who help with answering this question. First of all, I'm a beginner when it comes to photography, but I'm a fast learner. I'm looking for a $600 or less camera for macro shooting of Tungsten Rings and shiny reflective stainless steel rings. I have read that the Canon G15 does great in the macro department. But for $100 more a Nikon D3200 with 15-55mm VR len kit is so yummie. I have seen many good macro photo with the 15-55mm lens on D3200, but many still recommend a true macro lens (another $300 min) for D3200.
Can the D3200 with 15-55mm len still beat G15 for macro shots? Please give input as soon as possible.
