One for the digital photography people out there - Which camera would best suit my needs?


Basically I enjoy drawing and so I go to places like the zoo and wildlife parks etc, I have a compact digital camera and my phone but they aren't very good at taking pictures of animals that are at the back of their cages or in the distance and still have a level of detail I can draw.

So Id basically like my camera to be able to take good distance shots but also be good at general day to day photography as well.

As Ive said above drawing is my thing photography isn't but I'm prepared to learn so Id like a camera that is easy to use (pref with an "auto" mode) however Id also like it to have some manual controls so I can learn as I go. Having a viewfinder isn't too important to me, Id like to not spend more than say £250 if possible and I don't mind buying a camera second hand, also it would be nice if it had a good lens built in so I'm not having to carry a load of photography equipment around (I have a 20 month old and she already has more than enough for me to carry).

Ive looked and narrowed it down to these 3 models

Nikon L840 4/5
Canon Powershot SX520
Fuji FinePix S9200

Or is there one I'm missing?

Connect studio flash lighting kit to Nikon d3300?


I have a Nikon D3300 and I just bought a flash kit on ebay to practice with, but I don t have the right port to connect the wireless adapter to the camera. In fact, the jack port it has is for the mic. Can someone tell me how I get around this, please? Is there some sort of adapter I can purchase? The description had my camera listed as one that the kit is compatible with so was expecting to be able to plug in and go

Could you advise me on the best Nikon DSLR?


Could you advise me on the best Nikon DSLR?
Added (1). I'm a senior student at the art academy and work a lot with photography and video, it is time for me to get my own. I've had the D5100 on my list for years, but now I'm getting into it, I read alot about D7100. At this time, all the choices are overwhelming.

I need a good quality, advanced/professional handling DSLR that can shoot HD video and has good price/quality, cause I'm still a student. My budget is 1000,-. (maybe I can push it to 1200,- max.

What would you advise me?

RODE video mic GO problem?


I just bought this mic (from a friend) to record better audio with my DSLR but it's not working…
on both of my cameras (Nikon D5100 and #3200)

*it is compatible with both of them
*it doesn't record ANY sound only produces hissing sound
*i've already checked my settings and played around with them but nothing changed.
*the guy i bought it from told me it's unused (i can see that from the packaging too)

Any ideas? :/

Best Nikon For My Needs?


Long story short… I'm hoping to advance from my regular digital camera to a fancy DSLR. I'm hoping to list a few points here and get recommendations, as I'm still researching for the right camera.
Since I've started looking, I've leaned towards Nikon, but any suggestions are welcome!

• 20+ MP.
• RAW and JPEG shooting.
• Photo and Video shooting.
• Under $2,000.
• Full frame or cropped.
• High ISO.
• Autofocus.
• Long exposure (for night stars).
• One with a variety of lens (for point and shoot, night, subject, landscape, and micro).

Not Necessary:

• Wi-Fi.
• Waterproof.
• Mirrorless or not.

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to share your photos and the type of camera you used!
