How to film a concert on a dslr?


I have a Nikon d5300 camera, and would love to film concerts on it. I was recently at a small concert this past weekend, and taped the whole thing. The video and sound quality was amazing, a little too amazing. The camera picked up all the sounds of the audience singing along to the point where you could barely hear the singer. I am going to a Lana Del Rey concert later this month that will have thousands of people in the audience, and a Marina and the Diamonds concert where I will be in the very front of the venue; is there any way to get good sound on the recordings without the audience noises ruining the video? Thank you so much in advance!

Why does my Nikon D200 keep on zeroing out?


Both my Nikonova D200 keep on zeroing out my f stop and my ISO. I have to shut it off and on till it goes back to my settings. I do not wish to send it back to Nikon because I know it'll cost me. So I want to know if I can fix it myself or send it to a camera repair shop or person.

No AF-C on Nikon D3100?


No AF-C on Nikon D3100?
Added (1). So, i've been reading on a few articles that the Nikon D3100 has a focus mode called AF-C, making it focus on the subject without me having to hold the shutter button halfway or manually focusing it myself. All I have for focus modes is AF-S, AF-F, and MF. How do I get to AF-C?

Lens for my Nikon D3300?


I am using this camera for a variety of purposes (videos, nature photography, sport photography, etc), so I need a lens that will be fit for all of them! Right now I am using the lens that came with the camera, which is a DX VR AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 II. It works alright, but for me, I need something with greater zoom capabilities. I am looking at getting another lens with a max focal length of 200mm. I am a college student (film school), so I do not have a ton of money to spend. Basically, I am wondering if I would be better off getting an 18-200mm lens and selling my 18-55mm lens, or just getting the cheaper 55-200mm lens and keeping my 18-55mm lens as well. I know there are tradeoffs in both scenarios, but the bottom line is that I need a lens with better zoom capabilities. I am on a budget, so I don't have many options, but I feel that one of these two would be my best bet. Please give me some advice as to which direction I could go and any suggestions are appreciated!
