Nikon D5100 upgrade to more advanced?

I got a Nikon D5100 camera about a year ago. I have quickly outgrown it. I usually do portrait photos, also some pet/nature ones here and there. Most of my portraits are "artsy" things you might see on tumblr if your pickin up what im puttin down. I want to upgrade my camera. What im looking for is good quality pictures, sturdy (just in case of accidents) and modes like macro close up (most have portrait modes) I don't want to spend over $1000 on just the body. If anyone could reccomend a more advance nikon or cannon then the D5100 that'd be great. Thank you ;)

Nikon One Touch Zoom70AF Keeps Blinking E?

I recently purchased the Nikon One Touch Zoom70AF. I've been trying to look everywhere for a manual on google in PDF format.No luck… So I just read the manual for the model after 70AF which i think is the 90AF. Whenever I put in film an close the back it just blinks "E" on the LCD panel which means film isnt correctly loaded… I've tried this for over an hour already still blinks E. Can anyone help me fix this so that the LCD panel read the number "1" which means it is correctly inserted.

How to make my SD stop making doubles?

I have a Nikon D3100 and my SD card is copying doubles in which when I upload them onto iPhoto there's a double of each. But when I view them on my camera there's just one of each.Is there a setting I pushed on my camera that made it do this? Or what should I do? Please and thank you!

Will my Nikon 50mm 1:1.8 lens from my old film SLR work on my Nikon D3200 DSLR?

I am fairly new to photography, being that I just got a Nikon D3200 for Christmas.

My parents just found their old SLR camera from back in the day, a Nikon N5005. On this N5005 is a 50mm 1:1.8 lens on it.It says Nikon AF Nikkor & Made in Japan.It also has a thing that says Tiffen on it, but I think it is a UV filter.

I'm scared to mount this lens onto my D3200, being that it is a new camera and would not want to break it through my stupidity.

Can I use this lens on my D3200?
Would I need to buy an adapter ring?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but please help!

Ok so i have ordered a Nikon 3200 from Kogan, i payed and confirmed it on December 27th, and have received 3 emails now, regarding my order.here is the first one:

We are currently processing your order and expect to confirm it for dispatch shortly.

And here is the 2nd:

Buying a refurbished camera, good idea?

So I've been wanting to buy a new camera that's in a specific price range, and I found a Nikon 1 J1 camera for the perfect price! The thing is that it's on eBay and it says that it is Manufactured Refurbished? Is it a good idea to buy it? Or should I just buy a cheaper camera brand new?

Which to get Nikon J1 or J2?

I already own a Nikon D3200 which i love this would just be a (side) camera.

From target or best buy the J1 is only 399 and the j2 is 699 but the regular price for J1 is 599 and the J2 is 799 so im wondering if the minor differences between them is worth the 300 upgrade..and if neither which would you recommend to get must be the same type of camera though like a compact such as the J1

How to change the shutter speed on a nikon d5100?

When on sports mode, my camera used to take really cool action photos of people in mid air and things like that.i also liked it because it took lots of photos really quickly. Now for some reason all the photos i take on sports mode are really blurry and i can't figure out what i did wrong.all these pictures have been taken indoors so far. If the picture is focused on things close up, the shutter speed is really fast, but if it is taking a picture of something more than 5 feet away, the shutter speed is super slow. I have tried to figure this out by looking through the manual, but couldn't find any answers. Also, when i switch the view to on the screen, the shutter speed is super slow and is unfixable. Like instead of two clicks, there is only one click. Any help?

Is it possible to get an extra view screen that plugs into the side of a Nikon D3100?

I know with some cameras, the screen on the back flips out and around so you can see yourself if you are taking a photo/ filming a video of yourself.Is it possible to buy one that connects into my Nikon D3100? I would also really appreciate any links! Thanks <3
Added (1). At the moment I just use a mirror angled so that i can see whats on the monitor :3 haha its kind of annoying though, which is why i am asking :)
