A prime lens vs a zoom lens for a holiday/landscape?
Hey guys. I know this MAY be a bit vague to answer but i'd appreciate ANY input. I currently own a D5100 with a Kit 18-55mm lens (which is worse than my old Bridge camera lens in terms of quality. I think it has a fault) and a 55-300mm lens which is amazing. Seeing as I normally use the 55-300mm lens I have never thought about getting a wider lens… Until now.
In a few weeks time I will be travelling to Greece with my girlfriend on our first holiday. As it's our first holiday I want to be able to get some great photos of us and of the scenery (beaches, etc). As you can tell my 55-300mm lens isn't really going to do the job. So, I've decided to buy a new, somewhat cheap, lens that would be great for landscape/scenery, museums and also for portraits.
My budget is £100-£250 (at a push for a prime) but I will go a little higher for a zoom.
My first idea was to go for a 17-70mm lens like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sigma-17-70mm-2-8-4-HSM-Nikon/dp/B00AXZZ034/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t
However, i've noticed a lot of people saying you can't go wrong with a good 35mm lens when it comes to Landscape and portraits photography due to the pin sharpness compared to a zoom lens. Is this true?
My only requirements is if possible it has to have some kind of Optical Stabilizer, fits to a D5100 and also is as cheap as possible. So if you're kind enough to give a suggestion. No £900 lens lol:) Thank you!

Which camera is right for me? - 2
I've been researching about cameras for a long time and all of the cameras that I have owned before have been point and shoot cameras. Looking at Pinterest, I started to have interests in photography. I want a high quality camera that is under $700 and I can mess with the settings, but great for beginners learning about photography and very simple to use. Thanks for all of the answers! :)

Added (2). I myself have a Nikon D5200 amateur camera, but I was wondering, while I would make such a picture like below, it won't come out the way it shows here. Do they use certain camera settings or is this sort of 'grey' effect all photoshop?
Thanks!

Low-Light Photography?
I use a Nikon D5200
-Nikkor 50mm f1.8
-Nikkor 55-200mm f4-5.6 AF/VR
-Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-4.6 AF/VR
In addition I use a tripod.
I am alright/good with taking pictures with sufficient light, but, who isn't…
I suck terribly with low-light - too much noise (too high ISO), or, when I'm taking pictures of lit object surrounded by darkness, for example, the skyline of my city at night - the lights will either be vastly over exposed or the darkness will be disgustingly noisy/orangish-brown (though that may just be light pollution)
What are some tips/tricks - things to read?
In reality, how do I find a balance between shutter time and ISO - and should I buy a flash/reflectors?

How to solve this focusing issue on my DSLR?
I filmed the contents of the following video with a Nikkor 35 mm prime lens using Nikon D3200. I set the focusing mode to Auto. And the sights in the video were constantly alternating between in-focus and out-of-focus.
I wonder how I could I have brought everything in focus all through video without it going in-focus then out-of-focus then in-focus?
(Manual focusing would not have solved the issue, for in that case I would have to manually adjust the focus every few seconds)

Can I Get Pictures Made Into Posters?
Is there any website/store where I can send them a picture and they can make it into a poster? Also, does it have to be my own picture, or can it be a picture of the internet?
