Recommendations for first DSLR?
I have a budget of about $700, and was considering the Nikon D3100 and getting some extra lenses with the rest of the money. Or should I buy the D5100 and simply use the kit lens? Or should I simply get a cheaper, older camera and spend the money on some very nice lenses?
Is YN-460 II Flash Speedlight good for Nikon cameras?
I have a nikon D3000 and wondering if this cheap flash works decent things. Does anyone have experience or comments about it? Should I get it?
Canon Rebel T2i, T3i, or Nikon D5100?
I'm probably getting a camera in the upcoming weeks, and I was wondering what a good one would be. I know that "it's the photographer not the camera" and that megapixels don't really mean anything after about 10 megapixels unless you're printing really large. But I want to know which camera is a better investment, which company makes the better lenses, which camera is easier to use (such as changing aperture, iso, shutter speed.)
I know the dial for the Nikon is where your thumb would use it, and the dial on the Canon is where your index finger would use it, so what do you find more convenient? Is it easier to change everything with your thumb or your index finger?
I also plan on getting into video, so which camera is best for videos?
Thank!
SD card isn't working properly now?
Its a 16Gb regular SD hc card. I've been using it perfectly for about a year now and its been great. But a few minutes ago I was sorting through some pictures I just took, and all of a sudden All of the pictures from the card were suddenly deleted. And they didn't go to my trash or anything. And it was sudden, they deleted AS I was previewing one of the photos. I did not bump the SD card ( I use an SD card reader) and the card is not in the "lock" position. And when I put the card back in my nikon D90 dslr camera, all my pictures preview fine. But now when I put it in the computer, it doesn't show anything and it just says it needs to be formatted.
My nikon d3000 is under a year old and all of a sudden, when i take a picture, the picture is completely black. (no, the lens cap isn't on) i've reset all of the settings back to factory settings and i have even formatted my memory card.nothing is helping. What is wrong with my camera?
How to remove nikon d5000 camera strap?
Need help thanks
I've had this camera for years, and there's one thing i've ALWAYS struggled with, and thats the flash. I don't know if its the camera, or if i need to get a bigger flash but when I use it on anyone, it makes them look TERRRIBLE! Does anyone else have this problem? Also, i'm thinking about getting a new one soon, Is nikon the way to go?
i'm thinking about the nikon d5100, does anyone have any feedback on that?
Added (1). Reply to first post: Thats funny, because I know how to operate my camera JUST fine. I'm a photographer and have been doing pictures for years, thank you. The only thing that confuses me is the flash, it makes them look pale and their eyes look demonic. Therefore, I just do not use it. I've used flashes on other cameras, and theirs works just fine. I don't know what the deal with mine is.
Canon Rebel T3 Or Nikon D3100? - 2
I have a point shoot camera, but I want to upgrade to a DSLR and I'm between these two Canon --->http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=7372512193288089536&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=Canon+Rebel+t3&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960 I'm not sure If I will be getting it with the package of extra lens or just the camera by itself. And Nikon ---> http://www.bestbuy.com/...ies&ks=960. Again I'm not sure If I'll be getting it with package or not. Which camera do you recommend and why? I will be a beginner with a DSLR. What are some of the camera functions you like about these? Which one has more functions? Which has better image quality? Which and why do you like that camera better
I'm going to go to best buy or fry's and play with the cameras and see prices today or tomorrow.

Does the Nikon D3100 give bang for the buck?
I have decided on the D3100, and found it for $425 locally. Is it a good camera for the price? Would you recommend anything else over it?
