PHONE OR CAMERA? I need an opinion!

Should I repair my iPhone 5, I think it costs 280 dollars.

Or get the Nikon j1, which is about 300 dollars. (:

Any reviews on the Nikon j1 would be great.

Better gift: camera or money?

Since I'm graduating high school my mother wants to buy me a professional camera as a gift. Canon, Nikon, whatnot, etc. I know how to manage them and all. The prices of the ones that I could be interested in sort between $300 and $500. However, I gave thought to the matter and I wondered if instead of spending all that money in a camera, she would instead give me the money. I could use it for a lot of other things not just one object (the camera).So now I am indecisive because I know the camera isn't a priority for me, of course i would love to have one but I am not specifically dying to have it. I don't know what to do, either have the money or tell her to get the camera. What do you think will be best?

Nikon Flex tt5 and mini tt1 problem?

I am shooting with a d700 with mini tt1 on camera hot shoe, with sb900 on top. Then using the flex tt5 with sb600 off camera.My problem is I can fire the sb600 off camera when I am only using the mini tt1 on the camera hot shoe.when i place my sb900 on top of it for some fill flash the off camera flash stops firing or fires erratically (once in a while not every time. I have tried setting the sb900 as on, master, and commander and none of these settings change anything. I have done this setup before without a problem but I cant seem to do it again and am not sure if I am forgetting a step or a setting? I really like to use the combination of off camera flash with on camera fill.any one know what im doing wrong ?
Added (1). @fhotoace I use the pocketwizzards because they can be fired remotely behind objects, they dont require the ability to see each other. I am not looking for an alternative to using them just an answer on how to use them correctly

What kind of view finder does my Nikon D70 have, a Pentaprism or Pentamirror?

I was cleaning my old D70 yesterday since I had recently gotten back from vacation. I got a little mud on the front of my D70 caused my me almost slipping into a lake lol. The mud came off and all is well.

However what I noticed though while cleaning the view finder is that with the battery removed from my D70 the view finder is blurry and dark. But if I hold the camera up to my eye and insert the battery the view finder brightens up and comes back into focus.

I did this same test with my D7000 which I know has a Pentaprism. Once the battery was removed the view finder got dark and blurry. However once the battery was reinstalled the view finder brightened up and came into focus.

However when I did the test with my D3100 the view finder remained bright and in focus with the battery removed. The D3100 has a Pentamirror.

So anyways does this mean the D70 used a Pentaprism? I checked online. DP review said in the specs that the D70 used a Pentaprism but Nikon's USA site doesn't say what the D70 used in the specs.

This is just something that made me curious. The view finder on the D70 seems to be brighter and slightly more detailed than that of the D3100 which makes me think the D70 may have used a Pentaprism.
