NIKON D5100 VIDEO HELP?

So, I have a Nikon d3000 and realized I much prefer recording videos than taking pictures.
I've searched and found the d5100 has the best reviews for video I can handle/afford.

I have no experience with video, but I want to start making them (especially music videos for my friend)
I can't afford to buy anything else but this: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-16-2MP-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6/dp/B004V4IWKG

Will I get good video, that's clear and has that beautiful focus on a specific object and makes the background blurry? Setting tips? I don't speak camera, at all.

Thanks in advance (:

Why do primes outside of the 35-50mm range seem to be so expensive and limited in options?

Outside of this range they seem to go up considerably in price. The Nikon 85mm 1.8g is nearly $500. The 24mm 1.4g, which is about the only one I can find wider than 28mm, is over $2, 000. That's more than the 24-70, which is considered an almost perfect lens in every reespect. Granted, you do get that extra aperture, 2 stops I think, but there really should be a cheaper, less fast aperture alternative. People reccomend a videographer use primes for their cheapness and quality. I spent ages looking for a below 18mm prime, and I found nothing current. I think I found an old 20mm 2.8 or something, and it was about $450! On the other hand you can get the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 zoom for about $200 extra.It's much wider and has a zoom range (and apparently astonishing quality). What is with the cost and generally small range of out-of-the-norm range primes?

Buying a Nikon camera in France - warranty?

Hello everyone,
I live in England and I would like to buy a new camera on my year abroad in France, but I don't understand the warranty laws. If I buy it here in France and I have problems with it when I'm back in England, will I have to return to France to get it fixed? I'm going back to England in three weeks time so I'd only be buying it earlier so that I can take pictures of christmas here (it's pretty: D).
Also, is it generally a bad idea to buy in France? Is it more expensive etc?
Thank you in advance for your advice
:)

Am I the only one unhappy with Nikon service?

This is a copy of my 11/16/12 complaint to BBB. BBB posted it 11/20/12.So far there is no response from Nikon. Has anyone ever had similar problem with Nikon?

Nature of Complaint: Guarantee Or Warranty Issues - A dispute regarding the warranty coverage and/or terms
Problem:
I purchased a Nikkor 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR lens from BH Photo, arrival date April 13, 2011. Serial number US26015999. I promptly filled in the Nikon Extended Coverage card and mailed it to Nikon. That extends the Nikon warranty from the standard 1 year to 5 years. I mainly use this lens with my Nikon D90 body. The lens worked mostly beautifully at first.In the last year it seems like it has been having increasing autofocus errors, especially at the shorter focal lengths. Blame the body, my technique, or the lens? It seems like the body rarely has autofocus error with other lenses. Trying the lens on an older D60 body, I think I got fewer errors than with the D90, but still more than I should with this lens. When it is wrong it seems to focus as if my subject were closer than it is. I place my autofocus sensor carefully to make user error unlikely. Looking at user reviews by others, most are happy with this lens. A minority of reviewers report autofocus error problems that seem similar to mine. One reviewer said that Nikon service found the autofocus module to be defective.In September 2012 I sent the lens to Nikon's service facility in El Segundo, California, service order 5978634.It was covered by the extended warranty. Their result was to report it to have been tested and showing no problem.My experiments with the lens is that it still has a problem with autofocus.

Desired Outcome
Desired Settlement: Repair
Desired Outcome:
I would like to send in the lens for warranty service again, but I need it to be more seriously tested and actually fixed.
