Should I pay to get my Nikon fixed, or just buy a new one?

I have a Nikon D60 that I've had for about 3 years. A couple weeks ago, it malfunctioned and will no longer take photos. It says 'release shutter button.' I have to send it to Nikon and have heard that it costs about $150 to get it fixed, and some have said after getting it fixed, it happens again. I don't know if I should get it fixed or maybe get a new camera, possibly a canon with video, since the D60 doesn't have video features. I'm not a professional photographer or anything, but I love the quality a dslr gives me. I can't live without my camera! What should I do? Nikon vs. Canon? Any opinions?

Is there any other way to take pictures of myself WITHOUT a swivel screen?

With a DSLR camera, lets say it doesn't have a swivel screen and i put it on a tripod or there, i won't know where to stand exactly in the right place, (my forehead might be cut off), is there any techniques to know where to stand instead of constantly looking behind the camera to know? Maybe a mirror on the wall? Nah that won't work… Any ideas?

I wish all DSLR cameras came with swivel screen like the nikon d5100.

Upgrade from D5000 to D7000?

I'm thinking of upgrading from my D5000 which I have been using for the past 2 years and now I think I should upgrade the body to a D7000. Mainly because of its got better ergonomics and more physical buttons to change things, more buffer.etc

Is it a good time to buy the D7000 or should I wait for its replacement or a better camera from nikon in the next 5-6 months? I do not want to go full frame.

What dslr camera is best for me? - 1

I'm a beginner when it comes to dslr cameras. But i'm super interested in photography and would like to upgrade from my point and shoot camera. I have researched some and found two but i'm not sure about them. The first is the Nikon d3000, and this is the one i'm leaning more towards. The other is the Cannon Rebel t3. Both with the starter kit lenses. I know, i know, rival brands, but i don't really have a preference. I really want it to be able to take good pictures of sunsets, because i live near the beach, and of course people. I also don't really want a video setting, if that helps. Which camera is better? Can you give pros/ cons? Or if there are any better options please let me know! Thanks!

P.S. I will be buying this myself, and i'm 15 year olde without a job, so please keep your camera suggestions in the same price range as the other two: D

Is f/2 enough for night photography?

I'm planning to buy a new lens due to the fact that my two current lenses don't have a fast enough aperture for low light situations. I have a D90 and an F100 which basically means that i will need an FX lens that works on both cameras. I want a 35mm lens so it will be a 50 on my d90 and a 35mm on my F100. I was wondering if f/2 is a fast enough aperture for night and low light situations. This is the lens: http://www.nikonusa.com/...52F2D.html
