Both photography and videos?

I'm stuck between the nikon d5100 and canon t3i.
I'm a film maker but I also do a lot of photography. Which one is better?
Please don't say "it depends on the photographer " or a dumb smart comment.
A simple answer based on your preference Is all I'm asking. Also do not suggest getting a cam corder.

Nikon D80 - Why is there 2 ISO settings?

Hi,

I have started photography over the past year or two and am using a Nikon D80 camera and recently I've decided to start trying to use it manually and try and get different pictures and also night pictures.

But when I've been taking night pictures I have realised my ISO was up to 1600 which isnt good it should be about 100 or 200 for night, I know how to change this but it still carried on setting it to 1600, so after a bit of playing around I realised there was ISO sensitivity set in custom settings.

I just want to know whats the difference between ISO in general menu and ISO sensitvity in the custom menu? And what should they be on once back to normal?

Also if i'm in auto mode will the iso automatically go to auto itself or not?

Windscreens/ Preventing Gear Noise?

I'm running a Nikon D5100 with a Beyerdynamic MCE S ll Cam set for audio while recording video.

I'm aware auto focus is not preferred when doing video but I do have certain situations that require it, and when I do I get noises from my lens.

I was thinking of getting an 18cm Micover Puffin Wind Diffusion for it, but I also noticed a $30 (compared to $70) windscreen, while Rycote offers an 18cm $110 version.

So my questions:

1. Does the price of the windscreen really matter or is that just because of brand name (should I spend the 70 over the 30 so I don't regret it?)

2. Would a windscreen even help with gear noise?

Keep in mind I have thought of getting other mics and such but its currently out of the question, and yes I have experimented with distancing my mic from the camera, while I could get longer cords the issue lies in that most situations Im doing everything so my mic needs to be mounted (yes I've looked at adjustable mounts and rigs but I'd rather not buy another rig for the time being, I'm just hoping a windscreen will be a good permanent fix)

Rifle Scope-Which is better?

For target shooting up to 600 yards but most of the time at around 300 yards or so.It will so be use as a hunting scope at about 200 yards.

Is the Nikon D7000 too much camera for a first DSLR?

I want to get into photography and want a good camera, but I'm afraid I will never get great shots if I have a camera that is too difficult to learn.

Some suggestions might be just great!

I need some suggestions from the expert. Well, some intro about me:

I'm a student and I snap most of: interior design [cars, houses, mansions, toilets and everything interior] | extreme lover <- I love jungle trekking, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, wind surfing, street surfing, | traveler | musician | nature lover | photograph maniac < quoted by many people.

that's all that explains all about me. I'm an outdoor freak! hehe

About getting a DSLR for my first time. [I snap photos only with Sony compact camera] I can't make up my mind on what to buy actually. Either Canon [most preferred by expert but I'm not that expert], Nikon [most outdoor lovers use this but I snap indoor also], Pentax | Fujifilm | Sony…

uh, can somebody help me out? Please (n, n)

-Love To Hear From Everybody Soon-
