High-quality camera for beginner?

I want a camera for my birthday, but I'm not sure what I want to ask for? I want a high resolution camera, that can focus and has nice picture quality, you know, what you would expect. Nothing too fancy, because I'm a beginner. I really just want a camera that I can take nice pictures and post them on tumblr. Should I get a Nikon or a Canon? And it can't be too much money, so if there's a good one on the cheaper side that would be really cool! I shop on amazon usually, so if it's not cheap in the actual store it may be on amazon. Thanks!

Quality loss with Leica lens on a Nikon body?

Okay so I have a large amount of vintage Contax, Minolta, Canon, Olympus, and Leica lenses. (I may have a newerish Hasselblad lens or two, but I'm not sure if I've sold them already)

I have never experimented with using a converter to put any of these lenses on my camera. Would there be any quality loss (Aside from not being able to focus to infinity) that I might experience when mounting any of these lenses to my Nikon D7000 with a glassless converter? (Also, yes I know that these are full frame lenses and I have a DX body. Please just stick to answering the question.)

II'd love to be able to use one of my Summicron lenses on my Nikon, because.well Summicron lenses are amazing amd I can't afford a Leica DSLR Haha

What Full frame camera do i buy?

Hi, I currently have a canon 600d, I want to be a pro photographer and therefore I feel I should upgrade my gear.My budget is a little of £3000.
So far I have taken a liking to the new Nikon d600 because of the cheap price, accompanied with the new Tamron 24-70 2.8, the sigma 70-200 and the 50 1.4.
On the canon side the 5d mark ii, with the 200 f/2.8, the Tamron 24-70, the 85.18 and the 50 1.4.

Which system do I chose? if you have any other recommendations please let me know, thanks!

Please, provide constructive criticism on some of my photography?

** Do -not- post any negative or pointless comments. You'd be ignored since you wouldn't be worth my time. **

To look at the pictures just click any of the folders to the right of the gallery.

In almost five years I have improved with my photography and the use of my cameras. The first camera I used was a Kodak point-and-shoot camera, and then I had an Olympus e-420. Most of the pictures you'd find in the gallery was taken with that camera. Recently I bought a Nikon D3100 and there are some pictures from that camera presented there, such as "Angels", "Witnesses of Time", and "Eyes of Wisdom".

While I try to understand lighting and composition more every day, I enjoy my photography and the occasional results that gets me smiling when I take a picture. I'd like to be able to start taking hundreds of pictures of models one day, maybe even celebrities. I know at this stage I still have a long way to go.

Ending this on a note; what is your most favorite picture of my work? Please tell me why if you don't mind.

Must have DSLR accessories?

What are some must have DSLR camera accessories that you simply should have or cant live without. I already have a bag with a water proof cover. I know a tripod, UV lens covers and a better camera strap cause the ones that come with the cameras themselves usually arnt very good. But what else should i have and also what Lenses would you not go without (Fish eye, 35mm, ect) (Using a nikon d5100). Any ideas are appreciated.

Which camera to get as a beginner?

Okay so my dad really wants me to get the Nikon D5100 cause he loves photography & for my birthday I got 500 dollars cause I turned 15. But my mom says I should start off with something small like the canon sx500 and I honestly really like the sx500, but I don't know if I should get the Nikon D5100 cause it's nicer but at the same time, it's cost more & I'm a beginner so I don't know if I should start with that. People have been telling me to get the Nikon cause its the only time I could actually afford it, and it's really nice & big.but I like the small canon cause its small, I could upload pictures to the Internet easy, apparently it had "fish eye", and it's with a chargeable battery. I just really don't know what to get :(
