A good lens first or a flash first?

Im getting a Nikon D5300 with a 18-140mm 3.5-5.6 lens. I got a bag, card and tripod already. I want to get a 35mm 1.8g lens and a bounce flash. I can only get one for now but I will eventually get the other but it will have to wait 1-2 years. What should I get first and why?

Is the Nikon 70-300mm VR lens good for Sports photography?

IS the Nikon 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 VR good for sports. I know 4.5-5.6 is not very good, and your not letting a lot of light but money is an issue, I would love to get a Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II but I don't have that kind of money. I am also doing this as a hobby, nothing professional. (mostly indoor photography)

Why is there no focus indicator on the nikon d3200 camera?

I own a D3200 nikon camera. I also own a lens AF nikkor 70-300mm for it… Which apparently does NOT auto focus.

Using the lens and the camera without auto focus. How do I know that the shot is in fact in focus, OTHER than (use your eye) are there indicators that still say "you are in focus" even if the lens does not auto focus itself?

How to tell if my dslr camera is dirty or messed up?

I have a nikon d3100. I have not used it much, just every once and a while. I notice when I record video there is a white spot on the video. On the camera screen it looks like a dead pixel but on the actual video it shows up as a white spot. I tried taking the picture of the white paper but it looks ok and photos look ok too even on the screen. What should I do? The camera is still under warranty.

Can you work professionally as a photographer?

I have always been very passionate about photography. And I'm constantly taking photos everywhere. I'm even thinking about buying a good camera (any ideas about a reasonably priced, good quality camera?).

But I've heard there is not much money in it, and if you do want to start it is said to be extremely hard to get noticed.

But I'm not just talking about taking family photos, weddings etc, I'm also meaning just genuine photos that you take around the world, that are original and may involve pets, animals etc.

Is there any money in it? How do you get noticed? How do you even start?
