How to pick a flash for a Nikon dslr?
I have always enjoyed photography as a hobby and have even worked in a studio. (a long time ago) I want to take my hobby up a notch and while the technical side of photography makes perfect sense to me I'm struggling with the lighting portion. I feel the best way to get better with it is to go out and practice but I'm not sure where to start with lighting equipment. I will be using a Nikon D7100 and would like to start with standard portrait work. As of now I will not be using it for professional work but the ability to move into pro work with my new equipment would be a plus. Any recommendations? Any thoughts on speedlights in particular?
Nikon L820 Pictures Are Blurred?
I have recently acquired a Nikon L820, and taking photos without zoom is no problem, they come out crystal clear. However, when I zoom in, the picture is blurred, even when I keep my hand steady enough (there's also some in built gadget to counter the blurring of photos due to movement of the camera). Is there a setting or technique to stop blurred images when zoomed in?
Recovered video can't be played?
I have accidentally deleted a video on my windows 7 (originally taken on my Nikon camera), and I recovered it. The problem is that none of my video players (vlc, wmp, etc) can read it. Before the recovery, it could be played. Then, I figured out that in the file's "properties" on the third column, there were no data except for the name, size, location, date, etc.
How do I fix this and make it playable?

What Camera Is Best Canon Or Nikon?
Change a Sigma lens mount myself?
Is it possible to buy a Sigma lens with a canon or nikon mount, and then switch out to a sony/minolta mount?
I was just wondering if anyone has tried this - without using the rather expensive Sigma conversion service.
Suggestions for best Nikon cameras?
Okay. My sister's graduation is ib may and I want a good quality camera. I don't know much but for a while I have been wanting to be a photographer or at least as a hobbie. I want somwthing cheap to start with maybe in the range of $200-$300 maybe $350 at the most… Maybe less than $200 too. I doesn't have to be nikon either if you could suggest me other good brands at the price range.
Which camera of the following would you suggest?
For the longest time I have always envisioned myself as a photographer, however, I never didn't ever get around to it. I've been looking online to buy my first gently used SLR digital camera (I've only ever used basic digital cameras that don't have an exchangeable lens, and film camera) and I've stumbled across the following…
1. Nikon D3100- includes 18-55mm lens
2. Canon T2i- includes 18-55mm lens and UV filter
3. Nikon D5100- includes 18-55mm lens
I'm hoping to use this camera for day to day photography (basic portraits, horse portraits, etc) as well as music covers (video) and tutorials (video)
Please provide pros/cons or why you suggest the particular camera.

Using a nikon sb700 flash/led light with Westcott 7 Feet white/black umbrella? - 1
The sb700 obviously used for photography.
Anyway, I also own an LED light kit with 600 led bulbs. It seems pretty bright when lit up. I have ordered a Westcott 7 Feet umbrella with the white interior and black exterior.
My question then is, will any of these light sources be powerful enough to achieve an effective lighting with this umbrella considering it has the white interior?
Here are the links to the led light kit and umbrella I'm talking about:
Light kit - http://www.amazon.com/...t/B00ATTY…
Umbrella - http://www.amazon.com/...t/B004QEV…
-These will NOT be used at the same time.
For video I will use the led light and for photography I will use the flash.
- For photography it will be for portraiture or a small space, including a person.
- For video it will a similar situation.
Bottom line, it will not be used to light up an extremely large area, like a hallway, but more like part of a large room (video), or just a small staged area (photography).
I'm aware that this may be up to me to test the equipment, but if for some reason any of these are not powerful enough, please recommend me light sources that are great quality but affordable.
