Which mid-level dslr to buy? - 1

So I'm having trouble deciding what DSLR I want to buy. I've taken plenty of photography classes, and read plenty of books and used plenty of DSLR's for events, classes & more. But I'm ready for a step-up from an entry level DSLR. I enjoy taking portraits and shooting mainly people, events, and occasionally landscapes. I want to buy my first DSLR. Every other DSLR I've used was school owned, or a friend's. But I have plenty of knowledge. I know I want a camera that works pretty well in low light. I would like faster burst mode rates- I don't care for any of the extras like swiveling lcd's or any of that. I want it to have a decent battery life. Full HD video is preferred, resolution is kind of a big buying point as I will be printing and enlarging photos and would like them to turn out crisp, not softened or blurred at all. Basically I would like suggestions on any mid-level DSLR's from Nikon, Canon, or Sony. Please share experiences with your own mid-level dslr's if you can! Pricing doesn't matter.
Thank You!

Need help with capturing photos of American Bald Eagles?

My dad wanted to know what is the best setting for taking photo of these eagles down at MD. He said the photos he took are kinda blurry. He has a Nikon D800 with the AF 51point 3D setting on and some lens 500… which i fail to understand (i am clueless when it comes to camera). He said something about the exposure time being 1/3200 on the photos he took. ISO-1250 i think and F-stop F8.So, if someone can help me out here I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Nikon wide angle lens suggestions?

Hi all. I'm looking for a wide-angle lens for my Nikon D300. I'm torn between a fast prime, such as the 24mm f/2.8D and a newer 18-55mm VR zoom. I'm very much a fan of the sharpness, clarity and good low-light performance one can get from a prime. However, I'm largely used to shooting with a D60 and/or D200.In the past year I've upgraded to a D300 and all I've shot with was a 50mm f/1.8. The first DSLR I had (D60) came with the 18-55mm VR in a kit.At the time, I generally liked the lens, but I remember having very little freedom to crop my images, without noticing a significant loss of sharpness. I sold that to get my D200 almost two years ago.

I'd like to get a wider lens, preferably something in Nikon's D or G series. I can't afford a fast, professional zoom such as the 24-70 f/2.8 or 17-55 f/2.8. I understand the 18-55mm would be much more versatile, but I've come to be somewhat of a nitpicker for great clarity and sharpness straight out of camera, has anyone used this lens with the D300? I only base my experiences on using it with a D60 with (somewhat) poorer ISO performance than the D300.

Suggestions?

Why is cash back a reason to buy a product?

I have seen a lot of tech adverts not from retailers, but from manufacturers (mainly camera manufacturers) E. G. Cannon, Nikon etc advertising cashback as a reason to buy their product. (e.g. £35). How is that appealing? Surely when you buy any product from a shop you can get cashback anyway?

EOS Canon T1i, T3, or Nikon D3100?

I have enough money to buy myself a good, decent, DSLR. I know these SLR's aren't entry-level anymore, but I just need a good starter. I just can't decide between these three because I have great offers.

First, my friend is offering me the Canon T1i w/ standard 55mm lens at $400 even. Not to mention an SD card, new carrying pack for it, lens filter, and supplied manufactured accessories.

I found a site that is selling the Canon EOS T3 at $380 w/ 55mm lens,

The same site also carries the Nikon D3100 at $430 w/55mm lens.

I need help deciding which camera to buy based on stats, performance, and handling. Which DSLR would be best for for a beginning photographer, yet still take wonderful pictures?
