Nikon D3100 w/ 18-55 lens autofocus issues?

Hello!

I bought my girlfriend a Nikon D3100 kit with 18-55mm lens. I opened to play around with it.
I am happy with the camera but the autofocus is weird sometime, I know its probably due to my inexperience with DSLRs.
I read the manual and learned about all the modes but I still not getting if its normal what it does.
So I try to focus on the lamp at the end of the room zoomed all the way in, I press the shutter half way and the camera starts to focus.At first its blurry, the motor focuses and it passes the crisp image and goes back to blurriness from where it started. When I zoom out a bit and focus its fine.
Would getting a different lens change anything? My simple pocket camera can focus on it no prob.

Any tips on setting that thing up would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Is this a weird price for a camera lense?

I looked up a fisheye camera lense for the nikon D200 on amazon and a lense popped up for about 20 dollars? I didn't know if this was weird or not because I think they are really much more expensive.

Tips/suggestions for a beginner photographer?

I have just started taking photos a few weeks ago and really don't know much about photography at all but I really enjoy it and wanted to learn a lot about it. I have a Nikon D7100 and I am still learning all the different photo terminology and what they mean, for instance, aperture and ISO.As you can see, I'm pretty uneducated on this subject.

Any advice/tips/techniques would be really much appreciated! :) ~Sara

Suggestions for DSLR upgrade from Nikon D3000?

I currently own a Nikon D3000 but am looking to upgrade to a newer Nikon DSLR. Like I just said, I do want to stick with the Nikon brand, also, two other important added features I want that the D3000 doesn't is:
1) Video mode, and
2) Automatic photo bracketing (for HDR shots), also,
3) A time-lapse setting or mode.
Looking to spend not too much, about $300-$500, am also looking to buy just the body and sell my D3000 body but keep my lenses.
I was figuring on sticking to the D series, although I'm not sure what the differences are in the series.
* It also doesn't have to be one of the newest models, just as long it is an upgrade of the D3000 and has the added features I want

How to determine whether the lens is sharp or not?

Is it something to do with how much elements and groups are present?

For example if a lens has 11 elements in 8 groups (Nikkor 18-55mm VR) and another lens 15 elements in 11 groups (Nikkor 55-200mm VR ED) which would be sharper?

Is it the lens with more elements sharper or the lens with less element sharper?

Some help with EVIL cameras?

I read and reread many reviews about the small mirrorless cameras and i decided i want to get one. I have been looking into the Panasonic Lumix GF3, Sony Nex 3, and the Samsung NX1000.i know the red Nikon 1 is realll nice looking, but ive taken pictures on a borrowed one and i wasn't too thrilled with the pictures.the Samsung has no built in flash and none of them have built in viewfinders but i am willing to accept that.Im just looking to take some nice little picture of my son when we go to park, or just casual little outings, without feeling like im doing a photo shoot with my big ol dslr. Any suggestions or help? im stuck trying to decide.

Need info on a camera?

Alright so my brother does Karate tournaments and I'm trying to find a good camera for his school. I need fast shudder speed to catch the perfect shots during the sparing (fighting) matches. I don't have camera knowledge to really know what to look for. I'm trying to keep the price as low as I can but I'm not looking for something great and expecting to spend just pennies for it. I've seen this camera and it had great reviews but I need to know if this would be good for catching the shots I need or if this is totally not what I want. (Nikon D3200 Digital SLR Camera with 24.2 Megapixels and 18-55mm Lens Included).
