I'm shooting with a Nikon D60. Right now, I don't have a reflector or external flash. I'm solely using the camera. What settings should I use to get great beach photos? Also, should I use my 18-55 or 55-200? I have shot beach photos before, and they look good… But they are just missing that something special. It is usually because of the lighting. Lighting is my biggest problems.

Best way to switch over to Canon from Nikon?
I'm not 100% sure on switching to Canon… This is a very long term thing. I have no reason to switch immediately.
My original plan was to start buying Canon lenses, and buy a mount adapter so I can use it with my Nikon D5000 until I buy a Canon body (if that happens).
And now I'm realizing that Canon lenses are more expensive? (At least from looking for a 35mm f/1.8 or faster) So I'm thinking of buying a Nikon lens and buy an adapter in the future for my possible Canon camera.
Any advice? Are adapters worth the trouble? Do the Nikon lenses, not adapter, depend on which type of Canon body I'm planning to get? Thanks in advance!
Added (1). I'm in the film industry and Canon 5Ds are the standard HDSLR for small shoots. I want to get accustomed to their interface even though I love Nikon. I have no intention to get rid of my current camera either. Would you be able to answer any of my questions?

How will A4 photo prints compare between the Nikon D3200 and the D5100?
The D3200 being 24MP and the D5100 being 16MP. I've heard 16MP is more than most people will ever really need. However I recently purchased the D3200, and my brother purchased the D5100 at the same time as we've both taken an interest in photography with the same idea - to print A4 photos. The question is, do you think there be a noticeable difference in the prints between the 2 cameras?

We have average camera's, one or two HD video camera's, some digital cameras and a Nikon D3100, a few tripods I think. But there's a huge difference between good looking movies and homemade ones, though I want to make the good looking ones. If you look at a normal good movie like Forrest Gump (Fantastic movie, but I mean "normal good movie" with quality) and compare that to a NigaHiga movie, you can see that NigaHiga does everything himself. I think it's the lightning that affects it, not sure. I use Sony Vegas 11 Movie Platinum, and I can adjust the color a bit with that.
But what makes the movie quality so. "Movie-ish"?

Nikon D3100 shutter/exposure time?

i just need some help figuring out if this does have adjustable exposure/shutter speed (i'm pretty sure that's the same thing basically) i no most digital cameras have this but i just want to make sure before i buy it.
also i'm probably going to need to find a shutter release because if it is only a fifteen second shutter time i will need more time, so if i can get help finding one that is compatible with the Nikon d3100 that would be cool.
