Is my nikon d200 broken?

Today, I got a Nikon D200. And made an amateur mistake. I removed the memory card by hand, rather than using the eject button. The memory card will no go into the camera now and I can't use it. I'm completely heartbroken. If we took it to a shop, would it be able to get fixed or is there permanent damage inside the camera? Also, about 2 of the pins are bent and my mom contacted her best friend, a professional photographer who gave me the camera, and she said since the pins are bent and i took the memory card out manually, it could be shot. I just need to know if it is completely broken or not.

Will we see the Nikon D7000 price fall much now the D7100 is about to be realised?

I'm looking to upgrade my Nikon D3100 (It is a bit "Plastic" in feel and does not sit right in my hands) The D7000 feels so nice and solid in my hands.
Nikon have just announced the D7100 will go on sale next Month in the UK.
So my question is this. Will the D7000 fall much in price (Body only)
The sales of DSLR cameras are nowhere near what they were 5-6 Years ago (D40, D80, D200 era) So stocks of the old D7000 model will be around for a while longer.

Buying a camera for a beginner.ideas please?

Hi there i'm looking for ideas on what camera to buy. I had a nikon d5100 a first as a gift but i didn't like it because it didn't take all lenses. I had it for a few years though. Now i have had a d200 for about a year. I'm enjoying it and will keep it as a back up most likely or as a main. Maybe just buy a new lens. I'm only using a tokina one now. I only do photos as a hobbie butit is something i wold like to get into more one day. I shoot portraits. I'm looking for a lens at a cheap second hand price. No more then $250. As i'm a single stay at home mum lol i've been looking at one for a while i think its 1/1.8 50mm. It was something like that sorry if thats no help i don't have the name in my head right now.

What are Nikon D600's competitors?

I'm about to finalize my decision on buying a D600 but I would like to know if I'm overlooking maybe a better competitor with a cheaper price range. Is the D800 worth the extra money if compared to the D600?

I'm looking into a Pro-DSLR but am not wanting to spend a whole lot of money. I know it's being overly optimistic but is there a camera out there which is around a $1800 price range, includes at least 2 lenses, has great mega pixels, is a professional DSLR and includes video recording?

I'm hearing of spotting problems with Nikon D600. Does this problem exist on the D800?

I'm asking on behalf of someone I know that is looking for these products.

Added (1). From what I understand, Nikon has not specifically commented on this problem, but many users are reporting oil splatter on the sensor and excessive dust.
Here are some web reports:

Panasonic GH3 or Nikon D600?

I'm a college student who earns through commercial photo and video work. Lately the jobs requiring video are paying way more than photo work so I'm seriously considering investing in a system that will fullfil my needs as a videographer better than my D7000.

Initially I wanted full frame because of the low light performance, no crop factor adjustment to think about (since my lenses are for 35mm), and just better image quality in general. But since I can't afford the D800 or the Canon 5d mkIII, the only ones available that's close to my budget is the Canon 6d and the Nikon D600. Again I come from a Nikon system (I prefer their ergonomics and think Canon's "better" video is a myth if you know how to use light right), so the 6d (or any Canon) is out of the question.

But then here comes the GH3 with the high bit-rate video recording capabilities, 1080p at 60fps, short flange focal distance which means I can adapt way more third party lenses (like M42 mount) to it than my Nikon D7000, and it's under 1500 usd. It seriously got me thinking.

So basically I need a camera that's under 2000 usd that's great at both stills and video, but really shines on the latter since it's what pays more. Those are my two choices. I might sell my D7000 to be able to afford it which means if the GH3 is the better choice, I might be jumping ship to that system instead.

I know there's a bit of a price difference but I already own several Nikon lenses and no Panasonic meaning if I were to compare getting a GH3 + lenses to a D600 body they would be about the same price.
