In General what SLR cameras are better, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fujifilm, or Pentax?
Added (1). WOW what a bunch of pretentious *** answers.
Obviously if I'm asking what camera to buy I don't know much on the subject (@Jim A) and it's implied that I'm asking for your OPINION (@Johnny Martyr).

Please just use some grey matter and give a simple answer with maybe some info supporting your choice.

P.S. Thank you Andrew for being a normal human being.

Is the Nikon j2 worth the price?

I want to upgrade from my current point and shoot (which is about 4 years old) but I also have a SLR (cannon rebel xt 350d, which has been around for over 5 years) I was looking into the Nokin j2 because I loved its look, saw some really great reveiws about it, most of all, it's like a point and shoot and an SLR combined, and is nice and small. (which is the main thing I'm looking for: a camera of great quality, but one that's nice and small. Now, I'm wondering it it's worth its $500 plus price. If not, are there any other small, great quality cameras that I should look into instead?

DSLR shutter/aperture settings for different focal lengths?

I'm getting confused with my Nikon DSLR shutter/Aperture settings in manual mode.

So the longer the focal lenth, the higher the shutter speed the higher you need the aperture?
e.g. 200 focal lenth shutter 1/4000 F3.2?

So if somebody is running fast in the dark, I would set the f2.8 and shutter 1/1000 ISO 1600
but will the focal length of my lens affect this?

I need like a more precise chart eg: in door concert this setting…
out door football game this setting …
Night time out door portrait …

If Im shooting a concert and zoom in to 50 mm can I leave the settings to f2.8 1/125 ISO 1600
as it's dark and the musicians are moving fast? if I zoom back to 135mm would I have to change the settings again.

How to turn off the LCD screen of the nikon 3000?

I purchased a D3000 because I liked nikon image quality & was taken by its striking exposure control. Sadly, I have come to think of it as a dog for number of reasons. Most frustrating is not being able to turn the LCD screen off.It makes the cameraman but useless at night or in low light, because off the dazzle of the LCD. ANY IDEAS BEYOND DUCT TAPE???
