Photo Explosion 4.0 won't import videos? Is there something else I can use?
I just got the Nikon D3100, I tried to import the pictures and videos I took to Photo Explosion 4.0 ( The Album ).It imported the pictures but not the videos. It's imported videos before I don't know if it's my camera or what. Is there something else I can use? The windows thing ( Don't remember what it's called ) that pops up whenever you plug something in said it wouldn't work with my camera.

Is it safe to use Sigma lenses with my Nikon D3000?
I recently purchased the Nikon D3000, and I want a macro lens. It looks like the cheapest one is a Sigma lens, which takes good images. Would using a sigma lens on a Nikon camera damage the actual camera? If so, what cheap Nikon lens should I get for macro?

Does AF Fine Tuning vary from particular camera body and lens to the same camera and lens?
I have just watched the video review of D7000 on a website where the reviewer says that the combination of his particular camera body and lens (namely Nikkor 18-105 VR kit lens) required him to enable AF fine tuning-- he tuned to -0.5 in this respect.
I own the very same camera and lens. But as far as I understand AF fine tuning may not be required or even if required I may need to tweak it to another degree with my own D7000 and kit lens, because in respect of AF fine tuning a particular D7000 body may perform different than another D7000 body and the same is true for the lens as well.
Is that true?

Getting started in Photography as a hobby?
My wife and I received a Nikon D5000 camera.
I always have been curious about photography and seeing some friends photos, the hobby looks fun. I love the outdoors and love taking pictures. We live on Long Island, NY so we live close the ocean and the city. I think I want to photograph crowds, buildings and I do not know what else.
I do not know where to begin. I have only used point and shoots before.
Can anybody suggest some good starting points and other ideas to begin?
