Dropped my Nikon and now it won't work?


I have a Nikon D3300. The other day I had it on my table ( 2 feet tall )and when I got up my foot sadly caught the strap and it fell. It still turns on, I can view and delete photos, I can still change setting and everything. I can even still record. But when I try to take a photo it won't focus/take the photo. I've reset the settings and tried changing the settings and so forth but it won't take the photos. Help?

Help deciding between two camera's?


For a class next year, I have to purchase a certain type of camera. These are the requirements:

"Students enrolled in Photography must provide either a digital SLR camera with manual settings or a 35mm film SLR camera with manual options."

Out of the two, which type of camera works best? Also, what specific camera would fit this prerequisite? Thanks!
Added (1). I must be able to upload these photo's to a computer!
Added (2). No more than $700

Nikon D5200 lense problem?!


I just recently bought a 55-200mm Nikkor lense from B and H Photo and Video. And it won't work. Im and amateur, an aspiring photographer, as in Im 17 years old and need help!
I literally got my lense in the mail yesterday. It took about 15-20 pictures, then stopped working. Completely. It wont even attempt to focus. Its not making a squeaking sound, just like a clock sound (like its focusing but it doesnt) when I push the button halfway down. The camera and my kit lense will work fine. But this one wont do a thing. Ive tried blowing and trying to get dirt out, and putting it in AF/AF-E lock. Nothing. And I have a wedding in two days and dont have the money or time to get a new one! Someone please help!

How to get the display screen on my camera to show the picture only?


I have a Nikon EOS Rebel T5, and on the screen where you view the pictures you've taken, it shows my picture and then a graph that I'm not sure what it's showing, and it shows on the image the different lighting (awful explanation sorry). How do I get the playback screen back to where it shows only the image? Thanks!

Which site is better, eBay or Amazon?


I currently use eBay because that auctions and you can get stuff really cheap from auctions. They also allow a buyer to seller direct communication. What I mean by this is that on Amazon and I'll show you one picture for a bunch of different items. For example, if I want a camera then I will see a picture of a specific model of a camera. Then, I will buy that item now this is where I don't like Amazon. They will send you that specific camera but not really the specific camera and the picture. For example, if I want a camera then I will see a picture of a specific model of a camera. Then, I will buy that item now this is where I don't like Amazon. They will send you that specific camera but not really the specific camera in the picture. But with eBay item you see in the picture is the item you get. Also on Amazon you can type in Nikon and you cannot choose sort by lowest price without first choosing a category, but on eBay you can. What I'm trying to say is I like eBay better than Amazon because it's much more like going through a store, What you see is what you get. Both Amazon it's hard to find the item, it's hard to find the cheapest item, and it's impossible to see what you are buying. Plus on eBay if the seller screws you over eBay will reimburse you. So please tell me why everyone thinks Amazon is better, thanks!

DJI Phantom 3 Pro or new Nikon?


I'm currently using a Nikon D5100 that I've had for about 2 years (I think). I'm interested in getting a drone but everyone I have spoken to (non drone owners) have had very non supportive comments.
I want to know how often everyone uses their drones and if they regret buying it. I live in a small village so I wouldn't be able to use it daily due to laws & possible complaints. I also work full time / college Monday to Saturday as a chef. But I would love to have a photography business as well.
If you were in my position (based on my circumstances and current photographs) what would you get? A DJI or new Nikon DSLR?
Here are some of my pictures:
