Cheap, high quality beginner camera?

I'm looking to get into photography, and I don't yet have a large budget for a good camera.

So, for a beginner, what's a relatively cheap, but high quality camera? A point and shoot is fine, but obviously if there's a better DSLR then that'd be great. A friend recommended some sort of Nikon 1, which he said is like a blend between the two.

So… yeah. :3

What accessories to get with a pro.flash?

Hey!

I am looking into getting a speedlite very soon. I want to get more into portraits and maybe wedding photography in the future. I currently do a lot of video work, including weddings, and want to start tapping more in to the photo side.

I was curious what sort of items I should pick up with a speedlite.

Every photographer I see has a different set of items to go with their flash, even if it is the same style of shoot.

Also as far as flash types… I was being recommend one of these guys would be very good for a person just getting started:

Why is the shutter speed so slow?

Okay so I have to go take some pictures of my friends band at their show later today. I'm borrowing my teachers Nikon D40. And I noticed that whenever I put the camera on the no flash setting, the shutter speed gets really slow for some reason and the pictures come out blurry. Why is that? is there anyway I can fix it? I already checked the shutter speed and it was fine.and I tried it on other settings and it was fine but only on the no flash setting, it starts acting weird.

Nikon 35mm and 50mm questsion?

2 in 1 question for you:
Q1. Does the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8 G and the Nikon AF-S 35mm f1.8G DX have a built in auto focus motor (i think that's what someone called it)
I have a Nikon D5100, and because the body doesn't have a built in autofocus function, so I need a lens with a built in autofocus motor.

Q2. For travel, would you reccomend the 35mm or the 50mm?
Thanks

First DSLR. Nikon or Canon?

I'm looking into buying my first DSLR and wanted to get some opinions to see if it was you looking into your first DSLR which camera you would choose. I'm trying to decide between the Canon T4i, Nikon D5100, and Nikon D3200. I'm also open to suggestions. I will be using it mainly for photography not video and mostly nature shots.
