What Flashgun Should I Purchase For My Nikon D3100?

Hey! About a year ago, I bought my Nikon D3100 DSLR. I'm doing more and more amateur studio shoots so I need a flashgun because the flash on the D3100 is a little rubbish. I'm kindaa strapped for cash, so the cheaper the better. The Jessops 360AFD Digital Flashgun looked pretty perfect, but now Jessops has closed, I don't know what to do! HELP please? :(

Nikon D7000 Kit 18-105 VR lens High speed shots?

I just Bought a Nikon D7000 18-105 VR Kit. Well I really want to take Sport action shots(wrestling, football, track, ext) but they have been coming out blurry and I have no idea what I have done wrong. Right now I do not have the means to buy a new lens cause I saved up for a while to get this one.So what can I do to take the pictures I want so they will not come out blurry and wont be unusable?
(I have been taking pictures for awhile this is the first Nikon i have ever had.so please give me a bit of a break)

Is it worth upgrading from a Nikon D40X to a Nikon D3000?

I have an oldish D40X that needs a good (professional) cleaning and I was thinking of having it cleaned and gifting it to a friend's daughter who is wanting her first DSLR. I also have an opportunity to pick up a used D3000 body that will be probably about $150 more than getting the D40X professionally serviced.

Is it worth the extra money to spring for the D3000, or should I stick with having the D40X cleaned? It doesn't seem like the D3000 offers too many additional features. If the D3000 is worth it, and gives more room to grow, I'm willing to go that route. Just wanting to know if it's enough of an upgrade to be worth the extra cost.

Also, keep in mind, the camera is going to a 16 year old who up until now has only worked with point and shoots.
Added (1). This isn't for me at all. I'm going to give one of those two cameras to a teenager, for her first DSLR. I have no idea what her photography skills are (although I know she has taken some nice shots with her point and shoot), or what would best fit her. She wants a DSLR to play with and will probably look into some classes once she has one. I just want to give her some room to grow along with her first "real" camera. I'm wondering if there is enough "extra" in the D3000 to make it worth the extra cost.

How many photos will a 8GB SD card hold when being used with a 24MP camera?

I am getting a 24MP Nikon D5200 and was wondering how many photos my 8GB SD card can hold if I take the photos in JPEG Fine.

Trying to choose my first DSLR, advice?

I've narrowed down my choices to the nikon d5200 and the canon 650d (t4i)
They're being sold for exactly the same price at a local store and I have no preference between nikon/canon. I'm trying to choose based on the specs of these two particular models, as they are exactly the same price and I want to better deal.
I've read reviews and comparisons but I still can't choose.
Any input would be appreciated :)

Panasonic GH3 or Nikon D600?

I'm a college student who earns through commercial photo and video work. Lately the jobs requiring video are paying way more than photo work so I'm seriously considering investing in a system that will fullfil my needs as a videographer better than my D7000.

Initially I wanted full frame because of the low light performance, no crop factor adjustment to think about (since my lenses are for 35mm), and just better image quality in general. But since I can't afford the D800 or the Canon 5d mkIII, the only ones available that's close to my budget is the Canon 6d and the Nikon D600. Again I come from a Nikon system (I prefer their ergonomics and think Canon's "better" video is a myth if you know how to use light right), so the 6d (or any Canon) is out of the question.

But then here comes the GH3 with the high bit-rate video recording capabilities, 1080p at 60fps, short flange focal distance which means I can adapt way more third party lenses (like M42 mount) to it than my Nikon D7000, and it's under 1500 usd.It seriously got me thinking.

So basically I need a camera that's under 2000 usd that's great at both stills and video, but really shines on the latter since it's what pays more. Those are my two choices. I might sell my D7000 to be able to afford it which means if the GH3 is the better choice, I might be jumping ship to that system instead.

I know there's a bit of a price difference but I already own several Nikon lenses and no Panasonic meaning if I were to compare getting a GH3 + lenses to a D600 body they would be about the same price.

Best Crop Sensor SLR?

Okay so first big thing is Canon VS Nikon:
Well I already use a entry level canon slr (xsi) and ive invested some cash in canon lenses ex. EF-S 10-22mm so not super keen on switching, just always been a canon fan but some persuasion might do the trick.
60D, 7D anything else out there? new releases soon?
here is some basic info, I am by no means a pro or going that way I would say more intense enthusiast, so full frames are ruled out purely on a cost basis, im a student thats not going to happen for awhile.
I need something solid and good for general purposes, im picking up some basic work as in event photography and stock for a magazine
cost is important, it would be 2nd hand to cut back and more money to invest in a lens stash!!!
well i am leaning towards the 60D as price wise its good, love the screen, dont need to speed of the 7d but could be useful im just hesitant as the canon crop sensors are old.they havent released anything new and i havent heard of anything new coming up but im perfectly happy to go with something a bit older as it offers more 2nd hand options.
anyways, reviews on them would be great! recommendations and all that stuff is awesome!

main point is out to get a solid crop sensor camera for a reasonable price that will deliver a high quality and maintain a semi professional standard.

Thanks so much!
