Sigma 10-20mm, Tamron 10-24mm or tokina 12-24mm? Nikon D5100?
Can't afford a Nikkor, and if i go for the tokina, which is fixed aperture, I'll have to buy the non autofocus model, on a tight budget. Need it for wide angle scenery and architecture, including long exposures and HDRs, Since i will be in Jordan for a month, and my primary lens, a 70-300 VR2 is pretty much useless there. I need an answer in terms of image quality mostly, since my experiences with a Tamron and a Sigma have given me soft foregrounds, but maybe because they were non AF macro lenses. The Tamron seems better than the Sigma, since its f/3.5-4.5 on 10-24mm, and the sigma is f/4-5.6 on lesser focal length, but the sigma is slightly more expensive, which made me wonder about the tamrons quality. They both have inbuilt AF monitors, which I pretty much need. Feel free to suggest another lens in the same price range if you know of any.

I'm looking into buying a Canon 7D am I making right choice on camera?
Hello everyone I'm an ispiring photographer going to photography school next year and my Nikon D3000 has too little of mega pixels for the program so looking into new cameras, I've heard amazing things about the Canon 7D and also was interested in it for starting to make short films. Please give your opinion if this is the right camera choice. Thank you.
Added (1). Thank you all for your input, I only own the nikon body and the lens it came with, nothing more. I do love the feel of Nikon and have heard its a better photography camera and Canon is more for videos but not quite sure… I don't find switching brands to be a great deal for I only own the kit. If there's a better camera out there Nikon or Canon please share, thank you.
Autofocus on video for nikon d3100 won't work
Okay, this is probably my own doing, since I've been messing a little with the settings to shoot on manual, but now I'm filming videos, and I need it to auto focus, but it won't. Can someone tell me what exactly I should be looking in?

Decent, sharp lens for under $600? For use around architecture and portraits. Nikon D5100?
Going to Jordan for a month. I only own a 18-55mm kit, and a 70-300 VR2. No use in jordan. I need a decent lens for architecture and landscapes (long exposures and HDRS mostly.)
Keep in mind, it has to have an AF monitor because my camera doesn't. Which is why i omitted the nikkor 18-35, which seemed perfect. Also, I would prefer Nikkor as it seems sharper than third party lenses, though i'm open to a different brand if they have image quality comparable to Nikkor.
Does a Pentax lens fit on Nikon cameras? (Nikon D40) or do I need an adapter?
Pentax lens is in great shape > no oil or scratches > and I would like an f1.4 lens IF it will fit
