Cheap lensbaby composer?

I have been looking for a lensbaby composer for under $150 but I can't find one. The lensbaby composer lens is the type of lens that really runs up my alley and I would like to try one out. I like the whole tilt shift lens idea, but dont want to spend hundreds or thousands on one.My camera is a Canon. I am also planning on switching to probably a Nikon or Pentax, I have an older canon and the screen has a small crack. I need the lensbaby composer to be cheap. Thx.

Good cameras for less than $150?

I'm planning on buying a new camera rather than the other stupid camera I currently have.
I only have $150 and I will probably get about $40 more in the next month but I don't want to pay more than 150.

I'm looking for a good camera, either like one of those good nikon cameras with the long lenses (but the not too expensive kind) or a good point and shoot camera, better than my old one.

That's basically all I'm looking for.

Any good ideas? Thanks c:

Nikkor 35mm or 50mm on a D90?

I'm facing in a huge dilemma right now. I'm planning to buy my first prime lens, but I cannot decide which one I should choose, between:

AF-S Nikkor 35mm f1.8G DX and
AF-S Nikkor 50mm f1.8G

I'm using a Nikon D90, and I'm planning to do portraits but i want to slip in a bit of full body shots.

I felt safe with the 35mm as my first choice, but it seems that no one's selling it in the location where I'm buying from.So I was thinking maybe I'll go for 50mm, but I fear that it may be too tight depending on my setting since I'm using a crop sensor. And this confuses me.

When using 50mm on a DX, How far do I have to go make a full body shot fit? assuming the subject is, say, 5'5" - 6 ft tall? Does the 50mm become 85mm? I have a DX kit lens 18-105, so should I test it on 50mm or 85mm? I can't try the actual lens personally, because there are no dslr/lens stores in my location, and my uncle from UAE will be the one to buy it for me.

I accept other better recommendations, as long as its as affordable. Your help will be very much appreciated. And sorry if my english isn't perfect.

Nikon D70 Folder contains no images, but the card is full?

I desperately need help. I've been taking pictures for the past two weeks and have no problem with the card until now. This morning I was taking pictures of my little baby sister, had no problem looking at them at that point. Then I went to show my mom and got that error of "folder contains no images" not even 10 minutes later. I then tried to connect the camera (via usb) to my laptop to see if I could get them off there, I've had no problems doing this until this morning, and then I got the error of that the disk was not readable by my Mac. Can someone help me with this, I don't know what went wrong? I'm just so upset over this because it has some very important photos on it.

Thank you if you can help me with this!
Added (1). The usb is the only way for me to put the pictures on my computer. I forgot to add that, sorry!

Help in using D600! Manual focus point?

Hi guys,
I'm just a new Nikon D600 user and not familiar with my first FX body. I would like to know if I can similarly do the focus selection on the D600 like that of the old Nikon D80.
The old Nikon D80 has the manual focus point selection wherein if you half-pressed the shutter button, the camera will make the image clear even if in Manual Focus Point Selection

Does the Nikon D600 has this kind of Manual Focus Point Selection wherein the camera can automatically detect the subject that make it clear
If there is such a setting how do I do it?

I have tried switching the M/A button on the lens and on the camera.

All it gives me is autofocus, AF-S, AF-C etc.
I tried different lenses Nikon G, D lens even 3rd party lens but nothing
When in Manual Point Focus Selection, I can select focus manually, obviously; but the camera does not have the ability to focus automatically when the shutter button is half pressed
On the Nikon D600, all I get is autofocus and it is not that reliable, unlike in using the old Nikon D80 manual focus point selection mode I can focus it wherever I want and it detects the subject making it clearer.

Thank you in advance!! Happy Holidays!

What softwares can I use to edit my video? [Cutting]?

I have just started a Youtube channel, and I am using my Nikon to record videos! I made a Christmas Haul video yesterday, and I have been trying to edit out some bloopers! I can't use Windows movie maker because you can only cut the beginning & end and I need to edit the parts during the middle of the video +. I cannot buy any softwares, but I am willing to download any softwares that are likely to be safe on my PC. I am looking for editors that could be like Macbarbie07's, ConnorFranta's, ect. I have tried ASV+ and Freemake, but neither of them seem to work out for me. I am not bad with laptops. I am only a Teenager [14] so it doesn't have to be too easy to use.As long as I can eventually get a hang of it, you think. If you have tried the software you are recomending to me, please note that and your expierence with it. I only need a software that can cut because I have the other softwares for effects, ect. But if the software you are suggesting to me had extra editing tools on it, that would be fine. The software that I find to work the best, and I use will get points as the top suggestion! Thanks for your help! <3 :)

I'm a newbie photographer.?

I'm looking for (affordable) lenses for my Nikon D3100. I've had my camera for a year, and have yet to buy a new lens. I'm totally lost in what to buy and would really appreciate some feedback. I've been looking at the Tamron 75-300mm F/4-5.6 LD AF-D For Nikon, but after more research saw that it wouldn't auto-focus with my camera. Any suggestions? Thanks!:)
