Full frame or not full frame?

I am wanting to switch over to full frame from dx, but the only thing holding me back is that I do wildlife photography. I will be either buying a Nikon D300 or a Nikon D3 to go along with a used 500mm f4, that I am getting cheap from a friend.

I shoot alot of wildlife, at the moment with a Sigma 100-300mm f4 plus teleconverters.

I also shoot sports such as skiing, skating and surfing and so full frame is great for these, but because I shoot wildlife, will I regret not having a crop body for extra reach.

Also I have watched alot of wildlife photography videos and people seem to shoot with full frame… Is this the norm?

My question is whether it is better to have a full frame and teleconverters or a crop censor body?

Thanks.

Ways to manually adjust aperture on lens while taking video with Nikon DSLR Camera?

Is there a way (or multiple ways) to adjust the aperture using a Nikon DSLR camera while taking video? I have a D7000 and a wide assortment of lenses. Many old lenses I realize have adjustable aperture rings on the lens itself which seems to be a feature incompatible with newer cameras [unless f-stop is set to 22] and lacking from newer lenses (note: I am completely unaware of any adapters that offer a means of making this option compatible.)

I know there are some specific 3rd party lenses out there that have aperture rings on them so you can adjust your depth of field range/brightness while taking video but am at a loss of how to find them.

Any hints, suggestions, techniques, links, companies, lens models etc… would be greatly helpful.

{Incase it wasn't clear, my main objective is to find a way to broaden/narrow my depth of field while taking video using an adjustable aperture ring on the camera's lens}

Thank you all in advance for any input: )

New camera for amateur photographer?

I'm not sure what camera I should buy, I currently have a Nikon d5000 (that I am now tired of) My family has used it and has managed to damage the camera so i need to get a new one anyways.
People say that I should buy the 5d mark 2 because it has full frame and with the 24-105 lens. This is indeed a lot of money for me but I can barely afford it.Is it worth it when I'm not really a pro photographer and only a hobbyist/enthusiast who is interested in learning and get better at photography. I know the basics of camera and know how to use shutter/aperture/iso properly. Would you say it is worth it since I can afford it, or should I buy a cheaper one more focused for novice/amateur photographers? If so, what would you recommend?
Btw I am a student who is learning photography

D5100 photos too bright?

I was at the beach with my new Nikon D5100 recently, to try to take some water shots. I wanted to try a slow shutter speed to make water look silky as it cascaded over the rocks. But when I had reasonable settings at 3 sec shutter speed, It was way too bright. I kept changing settings and it was still too bright.So, out of frustation, I tried to make it really dark.At 1/2 sutter speed, f/32 aperature, 100 ISO, and exposure compensation all the way down, it was still too bright. This was around 3:00 PM in cloudy weather.

I'm new to photography. What am I doing wrong? How do people get those great silky waterfall shots in broad daylight?

Also when it is attached to my camera it wont let me change the aperture. Yes i did hold down the exposure compensation button and turn the command dial at the same time and it is not doing anything. Please help. I need to change the aperture my pictures are turning out way too dark. Also my flash will not work with the larger lense.
