Need some help comparing Nikon wide angle lenses for a DX shooter?

So I'm a bit of a photography newbie, but I'd love some help in understanding the differences in these 2 Lenses.

The Camera I'm using is Nikon D5000 and my favorite thing to shoot by far is landscapes.

AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
12-24mm f/4G IF-ED

I've heard some pretty great things about this lens, but I'm not exactly wanting to spend tons of money on a lens.

AF-S DX NIKKOR
10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED

This is the other lens I've considered because of the lower price and fairly comparable specs, But I'd love some input on how different they actually are.

Thanks all.
Added (1). Also, I'm wondering how safe it is to buy used lenses from the Nikon website.

Looking for input on which Nikon camera I should get- D3300, D5300, or D5500?

This is my first camera purchase so I'm looking for some help on what to buy. I know that I want a Nikon but I'm not sure which model to buy. I know that the D5500 is going to be the best among the three but is it worth spending more money? I would also like to know what lens I should get. Any feedback appreciated- thanks!

Apple told me the mid-2012 model Macbook Pro cannot take more than 8GB ram…is this true?

I would like to purchase the 500gb Macbook Pro but they told me that it cannot accept more than 8GB ram. Is this true?

I use the laptop for editing wedding photos because I am a wedding photographer. Large raw files from my Nikon d810 will be used.

Or should I go with the retnia display… Does it make a difference when editing photos? I don't feel like I'm sold on it… Unless someone can explain the benefits to me. Thanks!

Nikon D7100 Continuous Shooting? - 1

I want to do a timelapse of the night sky. So I put my D7100 out there with settings:
30 seconds, f1.8, 18mm, iso 400, continuous shooting.
I then attach my cable trigger, press the button down and lock it.
This works fine for 100 photos, but Nikon's D7100 has a 100 photo limit. My timelapse is only 4 seconds with 100 photos. How can I make it go for longer? (at least 400 shots). I've tried the built in interval meter but it's buggy sometimes and locks up the camera.

Does this sound new?

I bought a supposedly new Nikon d7100 on ebay, well when I got the camera it didn't seem new, usually when you first turn on a new one it has you set it up, time zones etc. This one didn't

Plus, after doing an online shutter count it had 2,386 actuations.

The seller has a very high feedback rating

Does it sound like I got robbed?

Should I demand either a replacement or partial refund?

Nikon super cheap wide angle?

I'm building a drone which can hold a DSLR + a lens. I currently can use my Samyang 8mm, but I would like a cheap, LIGHT, alternative wide angle rectilinear lens. My best option at the moment is a used 18-55 kit lens, but I'm wondering if there are any other cheaper wide angles out there for a Nikon APS-C sensor.
