How to take decent photographs of eyes?

I'm working on my portrait photography and I can't get really clear pictures of people's eyes. I have a Nikon d60, I know it's not the best of cameras, but does anyone know the best settings and things to put this camera on for the best portraits?

Nikon D3000 program mode?

When I try to use the command dial to change the aperture or shutter speed when I'm in program mode, it doesn't change it, but I get the little star telling me it's not on the recommended value anymore… How are you supposed to tell what settings your at?!

Nikon d7000 focusing: A/M switches?

Hi! On the nikon d7k, there's a switch on the lower right front of the body for manual and auto focusing since it has a built in focusing motor. Does this mean that when shooting in auto mode (with my lens on auto), I must switch both the button on the camera and the one on the lens to change to manual shooting?

50mm Nikon prime for DX camera?

I have searched quite a bit and I can't seem to find a lens that is made for a DX Nikon camera that is also 50mm. Does anyone know where I could find one?
If I want a 50mm focal length on my D7000, should I just go with a zoom lens?

By the way; I tend to stick to primes because I can't spend much money per lens and I only shoot with certain focal lengths (And I love using bokeh of stopping down to f1.8 or down to f1.2) so I've always figured that primes are my best solution for being on a budget.
By the way; keep in mind I can't really spend more than $500 on this one

How to zoom using a Nikon D3200 camera?

The question is actually on zoom and focus

My brother said that I don't have to focus and just set the two switches on the lens to auto and for zoom i just let it zoom automatically

I think he's wrong about the zoom-i have to turn the lens right?

also, what mode is best for still photos of people in general? The costco guy said to use aperture

Nikon Camera Lenses - can they be used on different models?

Does any one one know if a Nikon D3200 and a Nikon D90 have the capacity to share the same lenses? I have a D90, but am about to buy the D3200 and am just wondering if I can use my D90 lenses on the D3200. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
