Zoom lens to compliment 18-55mm for d3200?

Hi, I've recently purchased a Nikon D3200 with the kit 18-55 lens and I'm looking for a zoom lens on a bit of a budget (since I'm only 16). I've found a couple of 70-300 lenses by Tamron and Sigma:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/...000HDZAUA/
http://www.amazon.co.uk/...0012X61U2/
I've been doing some research and the lens apparently needs a built in motor, as the d3200 doesn't have one on board. Also it would be preferred if the lens had stabilisation as I don't often use a tripod.
Any suggestions are appreciated however I'm on a budget of about £150.

Nikon D3100 Water-Proof HOUSING/CASE?

So, I'm going to go to Disney World with my family in the Summer 2013, and I'm planning on purchasing the Nikon D3100. However, since I will be visiting Disney World, there will be some water rides. I plan on taking my camera on majority of rides, and film.So, I was wondering if there was any waterproof case, or anything for a cheap price. I'm a beginner, therefore I do not have ANY experience… Thanks & Have a great day!

Sony NEX vs Nikon D5100?

I'm looking to upgrade my camera and have narrowed it down to a D5100, NEX-F3, or NEX-5N. A NEX-6 would be ideal, but I don't want to drop a grand on a casual hobby. The D5100 has everything I want at a price I like, however the size/weight is an issue. Both NEXs have image quality comparable to the D5100, but the F3 lacks a built-in viewfinder and the 5N lacks both a built-in flash and viewfinder.

So basically my question is for people who have gone from an SLR to an NEX; do you find the lack of a built in flash and/or viewfinder restrictive?

Added (1). Are there limitations other than the lack of a viewfinder/flash? I'm not too concerned with lens compatibility since it seems old MF lenses can be readily adapted. Also I don't plan on using an autofocus lens besides the kit 18-55 and probably a prime

Added (2). The lower end NEX models don't have any viewfinder; they are only available as a $2-300 accessory. I'm also not a big fan of EVFs so I probably wouldn't even buy one. I only considered the NEX because image quality is comparable to an SLR, yet it's a fraction of the size, meaning I'd use it more.

Camera offer too good to be true?

I just listed my Nikon D5100 online for $650 and am recieving offers that sound really similar and too good to be true. The guy is willing to pay $650 and is offering 200 dollars for the bag (which is ridiculous since my bag is wort 50 dollars used) but is persistent on doing it through paypal. Now I'm not losing money in this scenario but i feel like this is suspicios. Both offers i received talk about the customer being abroad and wanting to pay through paypal. Also, I'm not sure how they even found my add since Kijjiji works through location based searches and they guy said he's in kansas. Not sure why he can't look for the same camera in his local area:/

Why can't I fine select my ISO on the Canon 650D (T4i) like it does in auto?

I recently bought the Canon 650D and when I take a picture in Auto it will give me an ISO of lets say for example 450 or 520 but when in manual and I go to change my ISO I only get the options of 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 and 12800, why is this why can;t I fine tune it like the auto mode can?

Also when I bought this camera the woman in the shop said that the Canon was way better than the Nikon D5100 so I bought it over that but I honestly think the D5100 looks like it has better image quality. I told her I don't care about video and she said it takes better still so I went for it, but if this is wrong I will take it back and ask for the Nikon D5100 if they allow me?

How many hours of shooting do you usually do before your battery dies?

I know that this varies for different cameras and also depends how much power your battery is capable of, but I just wanted to know. I will be on a sight-seeing tour for about half a day and I'm debating whether or not I should order a spare battery for my camera. My camera is a Nikon D5100 with a 1030mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery. I haven't really used this camera for a long period of time so I'm not sure how long the battery lasts.

Photography with lips?

I love lip photography, but I'm out of inspiration. I use a Nikon D3100 for my pictures, with the standard lens.
I started with this picture:

And now I'm already out of inspiration, I mean there are 1000 pictures of people decorating their lips or biting on fruit, and I don't want that.
A project that I have involves cars, and I thought I could do something with a miniature car that I have, but it's quite big, like the size of your middle finger in length, and 2.5 fingers thick. It looks weird if I put it in my mouth, because it's huge.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could do with my lips and photography? Or have some examples?

Good Waterproof Housing for Nikon D7000?

So, for this up-coming summer I'd love to grab an underwater housing to take some underwater shots. I'm 16 and have been into photography for awhile, but find that a housing would be awesome to experiment with and have a grand time at the beach with.
However; I don't have the $1, 500 + that many cost. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any GOOD, but less expensive underwater housings for the Nikon D7000.

I have a nikon d3200. I'm looking for a decent inexpensive external flash?

I'm looking for an inexpensive flash that fits the hot shoe ( i know to use in manual). I'm looking for something decent as in will last me a good time until i can buy the sb900. I'm looking to do studio work and want a flash to balance the light better. Needed: can move/swivel at least vertical or horizontal, doesn't feel "cheap" as in won't break or melt or give problems through the uses. My limit starts at 70 and ends at $150
