What camera do I need for high-quality photos for my blog?

Hi there. I'm looking for a new digital camera. I'm a blogger ( keatonthefoodie.blogspot.com). I blog about recipes, homemade body products, cleaning products, crafts, etc, and of course take pictures of my creations. The only problem is I can't seem to take the bright, vibrant, clear pictures like other bloggers. If you go to pinterest.com or etsy.com, you'll see what I mean. The pictures are beautiful, crisp and look so professional. I have a Pentax X70 and a Nikon D70, have played around with lighting and such and just can't get the pictures I need to take my blog to the next level. I'm looking for a new camera anyways, so I would love some suggestions for a camera that can take the high-quality pictures like other bloggers have. Any ideas? If you're a blogger, what sort of camera do you use? (I'd love to see your blog and pictures too!)
Added (1). The D70 does take good pictures, but I'm not totally comfortable with it.It's too bulky for me, and It's actually my moms, which I'm borrowing, so I haven't had (or have) much time to get too familiar with it. Plus, it rarely works properly, with all kinds of error messages, so I'm planning on getting a new one asap.

Buying a new camera- help?

I'm looking into buying a nice somewhat-beginner DSLR camera. I've taken a handful of photography classes so I know fairly well how to use cameras and some of the technical stuff. I've been looking at the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, Nikon D3100, and the Canon T4i. If you have or have tried some of these cameras out, which would you suggest?

Any ideas for what to put on my Christmas list?

I'm bored so I'm making my Christmas list. I can't think of what to put on it. I love photography. I have a Nikon D5100 camera already and an old polaroid camera from the 70s. I have the iPhone 5 so I don't need a new phone. I love makeup (any good products sold at sephora?) and definitely clothing from Pacsun mainly. I like the California kind of look so any stores you know of like that would help.So any other ideas? Thanks(:

How useful is this lens?

I am interested in buying a Nikon D5100. The Nikon D5100 is normally $580, but for $760 you also get a "Af-S Dx Vr 55-200mm F/4-5.6g" lens with it. How useful is this lens? For $580 you get the standard 18-55mm lens.Is there really such a difference between these two lenses that it is worth spending nearly 200 dollars more to get the second one?
For information, I am a beginner photographer but am learning and becoming more and more experienced. I like taking a variety of photos; outdoors, portraits, macro, etc.
What types of pictures will the second lens allow me to take that the first, basic one won't? I am also considering saving for a good macro lens.Is it more useful to not buy the second lens, buy the $580 camera, and use the saved money for a macro lens?

Thank you.
Added (1). The second lens is $300 dollars by itself.By getting the combined package, I save over $100.Is it useful to therefore buy the package, and perhaps save the lens until I get more experienced? I'm only 18 and don't have thousands of dollars to spend though, and so want to only buy quite useful lenses that can be used often.

How well will the Nikon D5100 w/ 15-88 mm lens shoot sports at night?

I cover high school football for a small town newspaper and need to purchase a camera that can capture movement at night with minimal blurriness. I've heard good things about the Nikon D5100 w/ a 15-88 mm, but I've been unable to find any information on how well it shoots motion under artificial lighting.

I am very much an amateur when it comes to photography and need all the help I can get.

Thanks!

What type of equipment will I need for a theater/stage production shoot?

My friend owns a business, where professional singers/actors will come to different venues (like for weddings, birthdays, etc… ) and sing different songs from famous Broadway shows.

She has asked me to take some photos of the performers during the event, but I'm not quite sure what equipment I will need.

I normally do portrait photography and all I have is a Nikon D40 (ISO 200-1600) with a 55-200mm lens.

Will I need to rent a lens with a fast shutter speed and a camera with a high ISO? I'm not sure of the lighting, but don't imagine I can use a flash… but if I could, what should I look in to?

I've never shot stage productions before, and I'm not sure what to look for. I'm just doing this as a favor for a friend.

Thanks for any help!!!

Will this lens fit my Nikon D5100 camera?

Ok it may seem a simple question but I'm quite new to photography with these cameras so I thought I'd ask.

I bought a Nikon D5100 a few months ago with the 18-55mm DX lens, (has 52mm thread) and was just wondering whether this lens would also fit my camera;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-55-200MM-4-5-6-AF-S-Black/dp/B000O161X0/ref=sr_1_630?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1352193887&sr=1-630
(Nikon 55-200mm VR DX lens)

I'm asking because it was my birthday yesterday and I feel that with some of the money I have I could buy this lens to get more experience and have some more fun with my photography.
I think it fits but I'm not sure because where it says what it's compatible with it doesn't say D5100 so I'm not sure whether it would fit.

So if anyone could help me that would be great, thank you:)

Thanks! :)

How come fujifilm cameras have poor camera quality?

I'm an amateur photographer, and I am looking into different camera brands to see which one would suit me best.So far all I've explored are Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm; and so far they all seem great in picture quality, but for some reason all the video tests and samples that I've seen from the Fujifilm cameras are awful.Am I missing something, or do people just post bad reviews? I'm not sure. Maybe a better question would be what camera would be good for an amateur/beginner? Anyway, let me know! Thanks!
