What are good camera settings for concert photography?

I'm trying to get good shots when i'm at concerts (i'm new to this stuff too) and i have a nikon d3000 but i don't know what settings to use, cause the settings seem to change like the aperture will be too high or too low, then i get it perfect and as soon as the camera moves the settings don't look right for the photo. So what settings should i be using, and should i be using a flash or something?

I'm going to buy my first camera, I don't know what to choose?

Your Open QuestionShow me another ยป
Help help help again please camera experts?
Okay so I'm going to buy my first dslr camera but I know nothing about photography and I'm trying to learn after getting the camera. So in a nutshell, I'm a beginner. I have looked through a few models and came down to these few and I can't decide!

1) canon 600D
2) canon 650D
3) canon 60D
4) Nikon D5100
5) Nikon D60

Emm so for the canon cameras, let's compare the 600 and 650D first. The shopkeeper told me that the only difference is that the 650 has touch screen and some focusing adjustment or something like that. So I'm thinking, since it's only some little things, and the price difference is quite a lot for me, should I cross out 650 from my list?

Then, let's compare the 600D and the 60D. Of course the 60D is so much better, but it's so much more expensive and it's for semi pros. Emm can a photography idiot like me handle that camera and make full use out of it? Is there a need to spend so much money? But someone told me that if I buy the 650D for beginners, I will eventually get bored out of it and need to upgrade my camera and suggested me to straight away go for the semi pro camera so I won't have to fork out another sum of money to buy another camera later on? Hooow?

Okay let's compare the nikons now. I actually like both of them and I don't know what to complain about them. It's just that the mega pixels is smaller if compared to canons, will that really affect much? Also, I like the d60 but my father's friend told him that it is not wise to buy that because it is already out of production and a newer camera will replace it soon? Bt if I wait for the new one, the price will be really high compadres to the old one right? Ughh so I really don't know.

OH BY THE Way I'm sorry, when I say nikonD60, I'm actually not sure if the model I just saw was D90 or D60 (I forgot the number oops) but I do remember that it has a motor built in something like that and is quite heavy compare to other cameras.

SO, what do you think? Out of the 5, will you rank them from the first to the fifth in your list if you were to buy one now and you are a beginner with no real experience with cameras before.

How to format my memory card?

I bought a memory card from future shop when I bought my DSLR camera which is a Nikon D3100. At first, it was fine when I used it but randomly I tried to use it one day and my camera said "Memory card is un-formatted. Please format." I've tried just putting my memory card straight into my computer and I've also tried putting my camera through the computer using a cord and both ways don't work and I'm not able to fix it. I've googled and I've seen something about a Memory Card Reader that should format it but I wasn't sure if it would work or not because I bought my memory card already formatted. Please help me out! I need a way to get the pictures that were on my memory card back. I don't care if I have to break the memory card, I just need the pictures that were on there.

Should i stay with the Olympus XZ-1 or get a Nikon D5100 for trick photography?

I have got a Olympus XZ-1 digital camera, and it is quite good for long exposure photography, but it has several problems. First, the image is a bit noisy even at ISO 100, and the second is, that I have a limited lens range. I was planning to buy a Nikon D5100 camera. Do you recommend getting the DSLR or just staying with the Olympus for now.

My SD card wipes out some pictures everytime I put it in the computer?

I have a Nikon D3000 and a 16gig SD card.
I took a bunch of pictures and then put the memory card into the computer to attach to emails and send to a friend. I didn't create copies, delete, cut or move a file. I safely ejected and inserted the memory card back in. Afterwards, Going through my pictures random ones are missing and there are quite a lot. Its happened to me before, but I never really made a big deal out of it.
I wanna know how and why these are lost and how I should recover them. Its happened on my computer and laptop, do you think its a virus?

Added (1). Haven't formatted it in a while. By doing so, what would happen?

Advice with filters for the Nikon d5100?

I found a kit from Hoya on amazon for $60 which includes the UV, Circular Polarizer and NDX8 filters, and I found an RM-72 Infrared filter from Hoya on amazon for $52. I would pretty much just be using them for experimentation, so is $110 really worth it? Or would cheaper Polaroid filters work just fine?
