First lens purchase for Nikon D5100?

I am new to photography, and I was wondering what lens I should purchase first, considering that I already have the kit 18-55mm.

I want a relatively high quality, versatile lens that can be used in a variety of situations including travel photography. Preferably, I would like something with a longer focal length than my 18-55mm. I see myself mostly shooting landscape, wildlife, etc.does not have to be Nikkor, and I am willing to look at sigma, tamron, etc.

Price range is $250 or less (will definitely consider used lenses also).

Where can I get a cheap Laptop?

Okay..so. I know Christmas JUST came and I should've asked for a laptop, but I already got some pretty awesome (and expensive) things, so asking for a Laptop would be a little… spoil-ish.So, I decided, that im going to save money for a Laptop.

WHY: This laptop IS NOT going to be for a All-Purpose use. I just need it to use my HD-PVR (High Definition Personal Video Recorder) and to put all my Camera pictures on. Because I just got a Nikon for christmas. I would use my desktop, but unfortunately, the wires that connect the PVR to the computer are too short, and my computer is on the other side of the room.sooo yeah. I want a laptop because its portable. And it would be of great use to me.

But, I'm under 18 ( i dont feel like giving out my age lol ) and i have been saving money. And i decided to spend it towards a laptop. But i only have about $350.So I need something that is sorta cheap. And will stay cheap. Because I dont plan on buying it for a while. I know $350 isnt going to buy me a good laptop. But like i said, I dont plan on buying for a while so Im going to save up a little more. I cant buy anything over $600. That'll take too long.

Are their adapters for nikon lens to sony dslr cameras?

I recently purchased a Sony a57 dslr camera and I want to buy new lenses. The lens that I was looking at was a 55-200mm lens but they discontinued that certain lens for Sony. I looked around and found that Nikon has a lot more to offer in the lens department and they had the certain lens that I was looking for.So my question is if there is an adapter that allows Nikon to merge with Sony cameras?

Nikon d3200 camera battery problem?

I have a brand new nikon d3200

I charged the battery for 1hour 30 like it said in the manual

after around 70 (if that) shots without flash 50% through viewfinder 50% through live view
the camera battery is dead? I fully charged it again yesterday morning took around 50 shots today through the viewfinder turning it off each time and now again the battery sign is flashing low?

I originally had a sony a500 dslr and the battery would last for a LOT longer I know this is a better camera but at this rate I'll need to carry quite a few spare batteries with me

does this sound like a faulty battery or is this sadly normal for the nikon d3200 ?
any help would be great, thanks.

What is the proper setup for hooking up mics and instruments to a camera?

I'm new to music tech, so pardon my excessive lack of terminology and "theory". But I believe I have a basic idea of how it may work. What I'm trying to do is plug audio recording devices to my camera(Nikon d5100) for helping a friend record her covers, for she is an aspiring musician. Now the jack on my camera is a standard 3.5mm female.So I need a microphone with a 3.5mm male.
Also, could I hook up a mic and an instrument into a double 3.5mm female hub with a single male(does that make sense?). Would that record correctly?
Mic into Hub
Hub into Camera
Instrument into Hub

Now my friend says her mic can plug into her guitar(an acoustic/electric). She doesn't know if it'll channel her mic to the amplifier.Is that how that works?
Mic into Guitar into 3.5mm jack converter into Camera?
Again I'll remind you I don't know all the correct terms. Please correct any theory. Any assistance you could give me would be most helpful. Thanks!

My New Year's party idea?

Okay so I am a teen and I am having the New Year's party at my house this year and I wanted to know what you guys think of my ideas.So first I was thinking about having a photo booth type thing set up with my Nikon and then by that I would have props like hats and mustaches and stuff.To add to the picture taking part I will have little Kodak disposable camera's lying around so people can take pics and afterwords I will print them and give everyone a pic in a mason jar. I have a great long room for a dancing area so I was thinking about hanging whit xmas light from the ceiling and then having mason jars with tea candles in that area.At midnight we will have sparklers and then set off big sky lanterns. What do you guys think so far? I have food and stuff already planned :) Let me know if you guys have any other ideas!
Thanks!

P.S. I will also have decorations of little clocks everywhere counting down till midnight!

All purpose Nikon lens? - 1

I need a multi-purpose lens. Excluding zooming, I will simply use it for outdoor, indoor, portrait shots. Shooting macro photos is very important. Would I be able to do everything the 35mm lens can do with the macro 40mm lens?

Added (2). I'm also getting this lens particularly just for far away shots
