Buying a new Camera. Need advice?
My budget: $1200
I have never owned a SLR or any sort of camcorder before. I mainly want to buy a camera to take videos and shots for music videos. However, if it came with good still-picture taking qualities, it wouldnt be bad either. The two brands that I'm looking at are Canon and Nikon.
I have this one from canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/...ia_hf_s30#

and this fromNikon:

In all honesty, I don't understand difference between a camcorder and a SLR that can take videos. My friend has the Nikon D3100 and he says it's video quality is very good. But I don't know.

I'm 15 and I want a job-where do I start?
My friend just applied at a local produce store, so I might try there, but what would y'all suggest? I'm looking to buy a Nikon D3000 (I plan to go into cinematography later on, and I want a good camera now so I can start looking into lighting, angles, interesting perspective, etc.), and I'm only $84 away. Anyways, I need to get a job. Where should I look?
How would you get a photo to look like this?
Like with the sharp focus and blurred background? What kind of lens was used? And at what distance do you think the picture was taken? All I can see is that a Nikon D60 was used… Thanks!
So I have 500$ to spend on camera gear and I don't know what to do. I have two lenses, one standard 17-55 and a small tele 50-200. I own an old Nikon D40 and I'd possibly like to invest in a new camera body. I don't really have any filters except for infrared.
I'm interested in outdoor, spontaneous photography. Nothing studio.
Any tips on what I should get?
What are good lenses for a Nikon D3000?
I have a Nikon D3000 and I want to purchases some new lenses. What are some good lenses and where to purchase them?
Anyone own one of these. What is the voltage I want to buy one off ebay but I can't find any info on voltage. I don't want to fry my d5000 nikon. How do I figure voltage out. Do I just add all the battery voltages together.
Added (1). Yes I know there's no ttl. As long as I can adjust the flash strength I'm ok with it. I'm just experimenting with flash angles for now. Then I'll buy the sb900 when I get good
How to upload pictures to computer with nikon d3100?

Nikon d3100 dslr? How to get the water drops in my pics?
Meaning if my kids were playing in sprinklers and I take pics with my nikon dslr I would like those water drops to be seen., how do I do that? I have the normal lens that came with it and I bought the 50mm aperture lens
Which do you prefer, Canon Rebel or Nikon?
I'm looking for a camera that is especially for photography. In that case, I want a camera with the best quality, but in a 500-700 dollar range. The Canon seems to be popular, but I'm not too sure if the Nikon would be a better choice. Also, along with the cameras, are certain digits. For example: (Nikon D5000), and (Canon EOS Rebel). I'm not familiar with these digits, and I don't understand what it means or what it has to do with the quality.
