Trouble shooting up close video with Nikon d5000?

I don't know what happened but every time I try shooting a video and I zoom in the image gets blurry and the same thing has happened when I tried taking pictures. I'm using the 18-55 mm lenses. I'll appreciate the help.

What is the difference between these lenses? - 1

Hello.

What is the difference between these two lenses, if any? I mean shooting wise. Which type of photography are they best at shooting and would it be fine to own both or unnecessary?

AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

I have a Nikon D7100, body only, and am off to buying a lens.

i shoot mostly portraits and landscapes.

If you have any lens suggestions, please do tell. :) I don't mind if it's DX or FX.

Thanks!

Upgrading from a Canon EOS 40D: What Camera to Buy?

As the title suggests I am looking to upgrade my Canon 450D and I am undecided, since there are a few options. Yes, I know a better body doesn't mean better images, but there are a few things I am wanting that I can't get with my current camera: higher ISO settings (mine maxes out at 1,600 and the noise is really, really bad.), better noise performance, better quality and a higher res image, and the tilty-flippy screen is really enticing for when I want to take a shot at an awkward angle or for when I am doing street photography and I don't want my subject knowing I a photographing them.

The 60D looks good because of the screen.

The Nikon D3300 looks like it handles noise really well and has great image quality, even though it is an entry-level offering. Would it be worth swapping brands just for this? I have already bought Canon's "nifty fifty" and have a cheap (well, it was about £70-80 used, so I'm not sure how much it is new) 70-300mm telephoto lens.

I'm also in debate between the 7D and have heard the 550D is quite good for its price.

Do you have recommendations? Which would you buy and why?
Added (1). Note: I will only be purchasing the body and not any of their respective kit lenses.

Canon aperture control in live view mode?

In Canon DSLR cameras are you able to change the aperture while recording video in live view mode? I know for some Nikons (D7100 and below I believe) you have to exit out of live view, change the aperture, then reenter it.

Underwater camera housing Nikon?

I want to buy cheap underwater housing for my Nikon S3500. I have seen them cheap 'Bingo' cases on eBay, are they any good?
I have also seen a cheap multi-use one 'B Square Underwater Camera' on ebay. Is this any good?
I dont want to spend a lot, and all I want is good clear photos, I'm a professional just want to take good holiday snaps while scub diving and the like.

Comparing some DSLRs?

Hey ^^
i was planning to buy cheaper dslr
for still pictures and cute video quality.
They recommended me canon Rebel series
i did research for sl1 and T5i.4i i liked them both:3
but I prefer the flip out screen then the small size
I was really disappointed when I found out that
for the same money I can get more like D5200
for which they told me it has worse interface:c
but im a little used to click 100 times to change simple things:p
aaand my last choose is d5200/300 it's bit expensive but I found $700 offer

sooo
the difficult interface isnt a problem for me:3
i want a nice video & flip out screen, thats all
I'm here for your opinion is there dslr that may replace my chose /d5200/ or tie it
i know there are some pentax and sonys? Which are good opponents?
but I dont understand from camera's hardware
so that's why im asking C:
