Dust in viewfinder prism covered under warranty?


This may sound like an obvious question but I have had my nikon d3300 for a week and there is a large dust spot in the viewfinder. It is not on the mirros, and does not spear on the images or image sensor. I have cleaned all surfaces in the body. It won't go away. I know repairing it is expensive and was wondering is this normal? And could it be covered by the default warranty?

Camera taking dark pictures. Do I need to fix my Aperture ISO or what?


Please help. I'm an amateur photographer. Actually, I don't think I'm even there yet. Thing is learning dslr's can be stressful to the point where I've given up on it. I took it back today and we went to the park I was using it in Manual mode, with an f8 aperture and 100 iso. BUT I put up the Exposure compensation to 5.0 it was good because I no longer had dark images. However, now I'm back home using it in aperture priority, and shutter priority mode. The images are black. I'm getting stressed bc I just don't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong. I've tried learning through youtube and the Internet but it's so stressful. Any tips or any videos that can explain to me what I might be doing wrong, will be appreciated. Please Help. I think I have some talent for photography but honestly I don't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong.

Btw I have the beginner's Nikon D3300.

Please Help Me!

Why aren t there more versatile lenses available for APS-C and Full frame cameras?


Nikon has a 16 - 85mm for DX. And there s 18 - 105 I think. Is it impossible to make a 14 - 100? Would it be too big? Too expensive/difficult to make? Result in loss of sharpness or distortion? Or is Canon and Nikon and Sigma and Tamron and everyone else scared that if they give us a lens that is too versatile they would lose business? I get that pros would have dedicated pro lenses for ultra wide, primes, big zooms, etc, but there is a very big consumer and enthusiast market frustrated with having to spend lots of money on many lenses and having to carry them around.

Should I upgrade to a prime lens from standard kit lens?


I have a nikon d5500. The default kit lens 18-55 is doing alright for me, but I read that a fixed focal length prime lens does better job.
Im not sure if I have to buy it.

I dont want to spend extra money on something that is slightly better that 18-55mm.

I need your suggestions, should I buy a prime lens? Does it have a superior image quality than my zoom lens? I am on limited budget. I will buy it if there is a significant difference.
A little guidance needed.
