Will this be a good video camera too?
The Nikon D5100 blurs the line between the Nikon's non-Pro DSLR lineup like Nikon D3100 with more expensive Nikon D7000. The Nikon D5100 can be considered as an 'upper-entry-level' DSLR targeted at beginners who have outgrown the basic budget model dslr. It features a 16.2 CMOS sensor, 1080p (H.264) video recording capability and an articulated 920K dot LCD in a relatively compact body. Like its predecessors within the same price range it features a pentamirror viewfiender and a 11-point AF(autofocus) system capable of tracking subjects by distance and color. The Nikon D5100 also features a Improved Full-Time AF-F mode for use when shooting in live view mode. It is also the first Nikon DSLR to feature in-camera speacial effect filters while shooting stills or video.
I don't know anything about video… Is this going to take good videos? I have a kodak easyshare c195 and the video sucks, that's about all I know. Is "1080p (H.264) video recording capability" good?
thanks!

Full HD 1080p D-Movie with Sound
The D5100 delivers exceptionally high-quality movie performance due to its full HD capability while the latest in full-time autofocus takes the guess work out of tracking your subjects while in motion. Effortless moviemaking is at your fingertip thanks to D5100's ergonomically placed Live View and Movie start button. Your D-Movies will come to life thanks to D5100's sound recording capability - get stereo sound with Nikon's optional ME-1 Stereo Microphone.
I dropped my friends nikon d3100, and the pictures come out okay, but the inside part of the screen is cracked, and you can only see parts of the picture. Is it possible to repair it? And if so, how much?
Help Thank you!

So I'm buying a dslr camera, and I'm wondering how the lenses work? Are all lenses like interchangeable? I'm getting the Nikon D3100. What lenses are best quality for best price, and/or recommended?
Can somebody just tell me how dslr camera lenses work? Can you get like any lens you want, or does it have to be specific to the exact model you're buying?
I'm into a lot of landscape and wildlife photography. I currently have a nikon d90. I was wondering if I should purchase a battery grip to prolong the use of my camera with minimal battery changes. When I'm out in the field. But I was wondering if it is actually necessary to buy one for this camera.
