I've been interested in photography for a while. I'm finally taking a photography class. The instructor said to get a camera with decent aperture and something else… I can't remember.
First, what exactly is DSLR? I know it's digital single lens reflex, but what is so special about it, and can you get interchangeable lens with them?
Also, what are compact system cameras? Those seem more expensive.
What about cameras with a flip out/around screen?
I also want burst mode.
It seems like a lot of questions, but I really want a decent one. Any suggestions?
What is the difference between these cameras?
Example: the Nikon D3300, D5300, and D7100, all vary wildly in price
the 3300 is cheaper while the 5300 is considerably more expensive and the 7100 is way out of my budget
why such a wide range in prices
is the D7100 that much better than the 3300?
I want to utilize a batch of cheap webcams as standalone surveillance cameras?
These are usb cameras, made by Hercules for Ubisoft or some such (packaged for the Wii). I opened one up, there are maybe 3 ics and a bunch of other (passive) components mostly. Obviously this can be done readily with a single board computer with usb ports and an sd card slot. Can anyone make any recommendation?
Would also like to alter the firmware in my Nikon L105 camera to make it record longer then 30 minutes of video. Need help. Would I be endangering the hardware by doing this? IOW would the extra heat be detrimental? I imagine a fan installed in a judicious fashion would alleviate that.
A friend of mine has a Nikon J3 body only and needs to buy a lens. Any recommendations?

pentax mx1(cheapest out of all)
lumix lf1 and lumix lx7 a little out of my price range but if they are worth it then maybe
and the cybershot hx50 looks like a good one
Would the Nikon d5300 good for sports?
I have been researching a lot and I believe I'm going to get a Nikon d5300 as my first DSLR. The other camera I was heavily considering was the t5i, but the Nikon seems to slightly have the edge. If you disagree let me know. The one thing I'm concerned about is how the Nikon will preform when shooting sports. Will the AF be satisfactory? Can the camera track fast moving subjects well enough? I will be photographing some sporting events at my college so I want a camera is good when shooting sports. How do you think the d5300 is at this? Would you recommend anything else?
To be said simply, which one would you get an why?
The old
Nikon 28-70mm AF-D
or the newer
Nikon 28-70mm AF-S (ID or something or another?)
and why
How to get super macro on Nikon?
I know Canon has a super macro lens (5:1). Is there an adapter I can get to make it fit on Nikon camera, since Nikon doesn't have any super macro lenses? The only thing I've heard is to reverse the lens and attach another lens, but this leaves virtually no depth of field(2-3mm). So what's the best way to get super macro with a Nikon?
Which one to choose between Nikon D3300, Olympus OMD EM5, Canon 1200D?
Please suggest the better one among these 3. I'm a beginner and my needs are for landscapes, people, macro and night mode. Does the Olympus give better image quality than Nikon D3300? Really confused between these two.
