External Wireless Microphone for Nikon D90?

Yes probably all of you would say there cant be external mic

or half of you would say zoom h2.

But neither of them would fill my need.
Is there any wireless microphone that records the audio to somewhere. Like zoom h2, But the recorder and mic is wireless.

How long does a nikon d5000 battery last?

I am looking to get this camera for christmas and i have a few questions about it.

1: how long does the battery last
2: how long does it film for (how many minutes of video can it record)
3: can you bring an external battery or an external chip to store memory?
4: are there in camera editing tools
5: are there in camera color correction tools

Thank you!

Also the main reason i want this camera is because it does depth of field and i have lenses that also work for nikon cameras and do dof. Is there possibly an alternative that can do this? Please answer the above before answering this.

Help choosing a camera?

What's the best camera to get for a girl who has an eye for photography but doesn't know her way around a DSLR super well? I know the basics, but nothing too advanced.

My previous camera was a Nikon D60, but it's outdated kind of falling apart. So I'm looking for something that's going to give me good, high quality pictures while still being affordable. (Preferably a Nikon, under $600-$700)
Added (1). Additional info

Not looking for an entry level camera, I spent 5 years with that Nikon D60. Something a level or two up from that would be great.

Is a Nikon d3200 worth buying for a beginner?

I'm barely going to start photography, I'm 18 and want just a good camera. Is the Nikon 3200 worth buying? I'm thinking of purchasing just for taking random photos everywhere I go, just to look back at later in life, and I just always like taking pictures when I was younger. I was also thinking of purchasing at this moment because bestbuy has a good deal at $530 for a whole kit. Is this camera worth the buy for a beginner whose going to take random pics and vids?

Is color depth in DSLR cameras are a big deal?

Is color depth in DSLR cameras a big deal? I just bought my canon 500D. And i notice that its color depth is only 21.7. I just recently notice it after i look into the reviews. Its my fault not looking on the reviews much early, you cant blame me cuz i dont know much about SLR's or any website about it.T_T.now, sometimes i cant help to feel bothered about the color depth thing because when i look on reviews on other SLR cameras.(based on the website snapsort.com). They have much more color depth than mine regardless that some of them already old models. For example the canon 450D (color depth of 21.9), the canon 1000D (color depth 22), the nikon D3000 (color depth 22.3), the nikon D5000 (color depth 22.7) and the latest nikon D3100 which was released recently and is much cheaper with the color depth of 22.5).

does this really affect the overall quality of the picture? Is color depth a big deal on it? Thanks in advance. :)
Added (1). Does my camera has an OK color depth with 21.7? Or is it below average and poor? Im sorry if im asking silly questions. Im still an amateur when it comes to photography and cameras. :(
Added (2). Sometimes i cant help to notice the difference with my shots (canon 500D) and my friend shots (nikon d3100). I find his shots much more colorful and sharp. :(

What exact settings do you have on your DSLR when shooting long exposure shots of stars?

So, I just recently got a Nikon D7100 and I'm trying to learn how to get better shots of the stars. Last night it was a clear night with a full moon and I went out in an open field to take pictures. The first couple of shots I set my camera to 1600 ISO with an aperture of 3.5. I set the shutter speed the highest it could (30 seconds), but the picture didn't turn out all that great. It was pretty black but you could see the stars and a tree in the foreground a little bit.
BUT then, I decided to try out the Bulb mode. I had the same settings except I only pressed it down for 10 seconds and the picture was significantly brighter than when I had it set to 30 seconds. It was so bright it almost looked unreal. What happened there? Is there a difference between bulb mode and doing it the normal way? Or did I accidentally change something in my camera menu between them? I'm just really confused and very new at this haha. Sorry this was so long. Would love if you had an answer! Thank you!

My Nikon 5700 will only work if it's on the charger?

It still turns on when not charging, but the battery symbol will flash and it will shut down after 30 seconds or so. I don't even have time to take a picture! But it works perfectly fine if it's on the charger.

I've left it on the charger over night and also tried to charge just the battery over night. The battery doesn't seem to hold any charge.

I'm looking for a cheap camera. Suggestions?

I'm looking for a fairly cheap (£100-200ish, on Amazon) DSLR camera that's fairly easy to use. I have been looking for a camera for ages but haven't seem to have found the right one. I want some kind of video recording on it too. I'm probably asking way too much, but I've looked at a few, such as the Nikon D3100 and the Canon SX 40 HS. Does anyone recommend these or have any other suggestions of cameras that are similar to these?

Best lens for plane spotting?

I'm getting a Nikon D3300 for plane spotting and I'm getting so confused with about 2 million Amazon search results for a Nikon lens. Which one should I get? I've seen the really bad zoom on the stock 18-55mm and I'm looking for a great zoom lens that's under $200. Please help!

Tips for plane spotting equipment?

So for promotion I'm getting a new camera (most likely a Nikon D3300) and I'd like to know what kind of equipment I'll need when plane spotting. This includes lenses, lens hood, all those other items. I love my current camera but when I'm plane spotting at sunset my shots get ruined by noise and tend to take longer to autofocus. This being said, it would be nice to get a camera that is capable of doing long exposures and taking good night shots. Also, me being an amateur photographer, I'd like to know how I'd be able to take good nightshots with the future camera. Also I appreciate any thoughts on whether this camera is good enough for plane spotting. Also I would draw the budget line at about $600-700. Thanks in advance

Have you bought a generic RX-100 battery and how does it compare with the genuine one?
