Advice on cameras for a photojournalist?

I'm a sophomore in college, majoring in photojournalism.My goal is to eventually become a sports photographer and I know I'll need to get like a Nikon D700 one day but right now I can't afford that.So I've been looking at entry-level cameras and I was wondering if a Nikon D5100 would suffice? I'm currently just doing regular photojournalism along with some sports. Can a Nikon D5100 work well out on the field and in the gym? Any recommendations on other cameras in the price range of the D5100? Please help! I'm a struggling college student!

I'm 14 and I need a job?

Hi,
I'm saving up for a camera (Nikon D3100). I'm 14 and I'm not going to allow my parents to pay for it. I need to get myself a little job so that I can start saving up and finally get my dream camera. I volunteer at my stables and work there at the weekend but they don't pay under 16's, so I'm going to need to get myself a week day job. Obviously there's school I need to think about, so I'm going to need a job that doesn't shut its doors at 5.
What kind of jobs could I do?
Thanks!

Are there any Nikon D600 coupons that I can use for black friday?

Hey guys, I want to buy Nikon D600 during black friday or cyber monday, depending on whichever has the cheapest price for the camera.

Does anyone know where I can find Nikon D600 coupons to get a discount?

My camera broke like a couple of weeks ago when it dropped into water, so this is a good opportunity for me to buy a new camera and save some money during the sales.

Please let me know! Thanks.

Tokina 28-70mm at-x pro f2.8 or sigma 18-50mm f2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM?

I am very tempted to sell my Tokina 28-70mm f2.8 lens to get this sigma 18-50mm f2.8-4.5 with Optical Stabilisation. I am using a Nikon D200 and wants to use a lens that is perfect for all around, can you please help me decide? this tokina 28-70mm f2.8 constant is very soft wide open and doesn't have a VR, I am planning to use a lens that is good for portrait (I am wanting to shoot a wedding as well). The reason I am wanting this sigma 18-50mm f2.8-4.5 is because it has Optical Stabilisation and the aperture is better than the kit lens, now can you tell me if I am stupid ever thinking of replacing this lens with this new sigma 18-50mm OS?

I will appreciate any opinions you can provide me. I will decide based on your opinions.

How to choose a macro lens for my camera?

I have a Nikon D3100 and, due to the costs, only have the kit lens it came with. I'm looking to get a macro and wide angle lens at some point but I want to make sure it's compatible and not crappy. I'm not by any means a professional, it's just a hobby so excuse me if I sound uneducated about this.

Are these lenses like a 'click-on' type of thing or are there actual lenses that I attach directly to the camera body? Also, is there a special standard lens I should get for the macro/wide angle lens attachments?

Lens for Nikon D7000?

I'm getting Nikon D7000, Im not sure what type of lens should I get… Should I get Nikkor 18-105 or the twin lens kit 18-55 and 55-300? I would use it for landscape, portrait photography & maybe natures.

Canon 5D3 vs Nikon D700?

Okay, I wanted to know which of these two is the best for over-all photos. I do not care at all about video, since I know the D700 has no video.My main thing when it comes to photos is noise performance and image quality. Also I want a Full Frame camera. I shoot mostly landscapes. Some times people and animals (always with the rules of 3rds). I don't plan to buy any of these cameras anytime soon, since I am still learning photography. But I just want to keep my eyes open and learn about these pro-level camera, for when the time comes to up-grade.

P.S.

Please keep your comments and answers on topic.

Thank you.

An Autofocusing Fisheye Lens for Nikon d3200?

I have a Nikon d3200 and want to purchase a fisheye lens for it. I've looked at the Rokinon fisheyes and they seem great, but I want a lens that can autofocus on the d3200 (as well as manual focus). Any suggestions? My budget is about $400-$500 (I know, it's not a lot of money). I don't care if it has stabilization or not.

What Camera? -important?

I am 14 and very good at taking picture, and not off me in the mirror making duck face… -_-
I love photography and I am going to be taking pictures of horses and their riders at the stable I ride at(also I am taking my family Christmas photos) I have a Nikon Cool pix and it works pretty good and I've had it for a year now but my parents picked it out and that wasn't the one I wanted so for Christmas I am going to ask my parents for another camera. I want a good brand that's reliable and lasts a long time, one that takes pictures quickly and you can twist the lense for fast zoom and stuff, and under $200 if possible(we don't have much money for Christmas this year)
thx xoxo -C
Added (1). Thanks Basement Cat, sorry, lol I didn't even check that, my friend spilled juice on my computer a month ago and If I don't press really hard on some of the keys it won't type anything and others will type double: P haha. That camera looks good, im probably going to ask for that one.

Best Nikon zoom lens for a lower budget?

I currently own the 35mm 1.8 on a crop sensor camera, so its actually more like 50mm. I need a lens that compliments it. I also own the kit lens. I need a zoom for quicker photography of wildlife.
