Why does my nikon d3100 shut off as I'm taking photos in Manual and Shutter mode?
It just randomly started to happen and it makes the photos I take look as though they're over a decade old. Please help
Added (1). My camera is in auto mode currently and i'm not so sure what shutter priority mode is. I also notice that "job nr" flashes at the bottom of the view finder as well as "auto" below "iso". Again.
I've been doing photography (sort of) for a few years, but I'm getting my first DSLR camera this month, and I'd like to know what I'd need to get started. Here are the things I have so far on my list:
- Nikon D3000 w/ 18-55 mm lens
- Lens Cap
- Tripod
- Remote
- Case
- Extra battery/memory card
- Card reader
What else should I need to get started? What can you recommend for all of those items above that would fit my camera well?
Can I set up a Nikon D7000 to automatically make SD card folders every day?
I'm going on a 3-week vacation. I would like the pictures that I take to be stored in a dated folder.
I had a Panasonic that did this a few years back (I think?)
I realise it's stored in the EXIF files…
Any suggestions?

The rule of thirds grid!
Can I have a review on the Nikon D5100?
My primary use is for film making, and secondary as home video. Is it good picture, is it well built for film making, how long can I film on it, does it come with a SD card, AND importantly is the 24p good
(because that's what makes the MOVIE quality.) Over all what number would you give it out of 100. If there's something better out there for the same price, please tell me.
Which DSLR camera should an entry level guy with a narrow budget go for?
I'm planning to purchase a DSLR for entry level photography as a hobby. I was considering the following by Nikon D3100, D3200 or D5100, the Canon Rebel T2i or T3i and my budget for a lens is $350. I would like the ability to zoom and crop out portions of the photo and the wireless function on the d3200 wouldn't be used by me. I plan to use the camera for taking candid shots, portrait shots and animal shots as well as landscape like shots when I go on my east coast to west coast train trip heading to San Diego. So far I don't think I will be doing any long distance telephoto shooting or macro photography. An example of my usage would be me walking through main street taking photos of just about anything a typical day would present, dog walkers, passing cars, people and businesses, surfers, bike riders all while playing with composition and learning to use the different more manual settings. Since I'm just getting into this I'm sure I would snapshot anything that peaks my interest. I don't mind getting close up and I have heard that prime lenses produce better detail than zoom ones at the same distance. Which DSLR would you recommend as well as lenses and why?
Added (1). As per fhotoace's suggestion I checked out the website and actually found a few lenses in my budget that I liked:
18-105 f3.5 vr for $399
24mm f2.8 for $395
28mm f2.8 for $289
35mm f1.8 for $199
and one not on that list a 50mm f1.8 G for $215 ballpark the local shop suggested.
As long as the lens isn't over $350-$400 which of those would you suggest for walk around usage like I mentioned before. As to the dslr, $350 is my budget on the lens not the camera thankfully I'm a little more flexible.
Added (2). Andrew would you mind telling me what camera you use? Also do you have any suggestions for other cameras, anything is a step up from my phone but I would love to find out if I really can get into photography. The local dealer is Nikon and Olympus oriented so I don't have many options in terms of picking up and getting a good "feel" for anything besides those two companies, his Olympus cameras are what he calls "Pen" cameras.
