In the market for a DSLR camera.?

I want something that takes very good quality pictures. Video quality is also important to me. Price range probably between $400-$600. I really want something worth the money. I have been saving my money for a long time and I don't want to waste it. I heard the best are Nikon or Cannon. What is the best i could possibly get. Video is almost as important as image quality.
Thank you so much for your assistance.

Dropped my Nikon D1500?

And now when I take pictures, I look through the lens and its faded, but it takes pictures. But they turn out half blacked out? What happened? Is it my lens or my camera?

Good price for Nikon D31000?

Have the opportunity to buy a used, in good condition, D31000. This will be my first DSLR. The price of the used is 360 (after pushing down from 400).It comes with the stock lens, extra battery, case, and stand. I can get new for 490 on amazon. Since I know so little about this industry I figured I would do some digging. Thanks in advance.
Added (1). You are correct, I am very (very) new. The person I would be buying from used stand, and just emailed about the shutter cycles. What would the answer mean actually? Thank you for letting me pick your brain.

I interested in buying one of these but don't know which one to get.My question is, what is the actual length each lens reaches. I want to get shots of a baseball game. If I'm sitting near 3rd base and want to photograph a player on 1st base, will the 55-200mm lens suffice?

39 vs 51 Auto Focus Points?

The only differences in the d600 and the d800 Nikon Cameras I care about are these. If these were the same (either low or high), I'd pick the d600 for the price tag.It's a 1, 000 dollar difference btwn the two (as of right now), otherwise.

To me… both sound amazing. I have the first d5100 that came with 9 Autofocus points. Not even the ones with 11 (that they all come with now). *rolls eyes*, so 39 seems amazing and 51 sounds overwhelming. I figure though… if I'm going to shell over over 2k for a camera… and 51 points is WAY better… I'll dish out the dough for it later. I'd be happy with either: P

Are my photos any good? - 1

13 years old, aspiring photographer. I usually take pictures with my Nikon and filter it with Instagram… I know that I'm nowhere near professional level (and that Instagram isn't exactly known as an app for pros) but I'd love to hear feedback and critique so that I can improve :)
Added (1). @Angela: Thank you for the feedback! You're right about my needing actual filters. I'm not entirely sure how or what program to use, however, but I'll try not to rely on Instagram so much :)
Added (2). @fhotoace: Thank you for providing the link, I'll try to incorporate what I can understand into my photos.

Broken camera sensor?

I have a nikon d5100 and chances are the sensor is broken because all my camera can produce is black images yet it works perfectly fine (can autofocus/ adjust settings perfectly)… but to me at least there is not visible damage inside or outside of my camera

and if it is would it be covered under the warranty or would it be cheaper to just buy a new camera over the repairs if it is severely damaged?
Added (1). The live view also shows up black but the screen works, so its like the camera just registers black, its not that i dont know how to adust the settings. …

I'm looking for a digital camera with quick shutter speed?

I'm wanting to spend about $200 and under. I dont really care about certain brands either. Megapixels arent that important but I would like a decent zoom, at least 5x zoom. I bought the Nikon S3100 almost a year ago, and it's just a horrible camera.It lagged like no other and the pictures were just a mess.

My biggest concern is the time that it takes to go from one pic to the other and a decent price. Thanks for all your suggestions! I'm looking forward to purchasing a camera within a few weeks!
