    Beginner Starter kit for a novice

    It's an ok camera, basically the same as the D60 but with better auto focus. It lacks live view and video. It's also not good in low light, even when compared to other cameras made at the same time. ISO 800 is ok, but 1600 is horrible. But at the price it's not bad, and also unlike a...

    Recording your pc monitor

    I think they use HDMI capture cards to record the footage. As for PC screen recording, Microsoft Expression screen capture is very good quality and free if you want to record less then 10 minutes. http://microsoft-expression-encoder-screen-capt.software.informer.com/4.0/

    free editing software

    I've been recommended Perfectly Clear Desktop, I haven't really given it a proper go since I have lightroom but it looks pretty powerful. http://www.athentech.com/try/desktop/

    Nikon D90 v D3000

    The two cameras came out around the same time, however the D90 was a higher end model. The D3000 was entry level and used sensor technology from the previous generation of Nikon DSLRs. I can not think of any way in which is better then a D90. For some odd reason the D3000 has remained on...

    D3100 advice: "Subject is too dark"

    What shutter speeds are you trying to achieve? If you're aiming for really high shutter speeds then you will need to bump up the ISO. Chances are you need to moderate the shutter speed.

    anyone use Dropbox?

    If it's a shared folder then either of you can delete the files. I expect he's just moved them to a different folder outside his dropbox. One slightly annoying feature of dropbox is shared folders take use up both users allowance. So if his was almost full he probably needed the space. I...

    What lens for Nikon D7000.

    I have the 35 f1.8 and the Tamron 17-50 f2.8. I love them both, but also need to add a 55-200 and 85 f1.8 to my bag. But if you really don't know get a 18-55 f3.5-5.6 and learn it inside out. It won't be you're dream lens but by seeing how it limits your photography you'll be able to make a...

    Buying my first DSLR - Help needed!

    I would also add a few thoughts on the e400. One is that Olympus 4 thirds is a dead system. Olympus have pretty much given up on dSLRs and are instead making compact system cameras using the Micro 4 Thirds mount. It's never been a very popular system and you will find getting lens and...

    Do i really need VC/OS/VR?

    As people are saying, at that focal length it's probably not an issue. I shoot a lot of live music and I find it's not about how steady I can hold the camera it's how much the performer moves about that's the issue.

    what next after the d90

    This depends a lot on budget, what you shoot and what lenses you're using. It might well you're bettering off investing in better lenses.

    Motordrive for Nikon D90??

    Bare in mind you won't get an increased FPS with a battery grip on the D90. Only the D300s does that. Oh and you've reminded me of an incident about 10 years ago, when my mum asked if a digital camera needed winding on. I just burst out laughing.

    max aperture

    The AF-s 50 f1.8 will go to f16. Specs here; http://www.europe-nikon.com/en_GB/product/nikkor-lenses/auto-focus-lenses/fx/single-focal-length/af-s-nikkor-50mm-f-1-8g The number quoted on the lens is the widest aperture. On zoom lenses this varies so two numbers are quoted. If you're not sure...
