Is there a P&S camera out there that does extended exposure?

I am looking for a point and shoot camera that does long exposure. Either having a bulb mode or 30 seconds. All I can find out there is up to 15 seconds. Looking for a camera for my son for his birthday. I am not loyal to Canon vs. Nikon. Looking for $500 and below price range. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He's looking at doing some light painting and steelwool.

DSLR Photo Resolution/Laptop Resolution?

I have a Nikon D3200, and it's photo resolution is 6016 x 4000 pixels. My Laptops resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels. When I go to the photo playback on my Nikon D3200 and zoom in on the photos, the photo still looks really clear. But when I go to the photo playback on my laptop and I zoom in on the photo It looks really blurry and the pixels look really big… I don't wanna confuse anyone, and I know the answer we all know seems obvious. But with modern technology being all so very complicated. The answer doesn't sound quite as obvious… So does this mean that I just need to purchase a laptop with 4K Resolution? Or is there some other very deep and complicated answers as to why the photo looks bad on my laptop vs my Nikon D3200?

Live View Switch Not Working On Camera?

I have a Nikon D5100 and just recently my Live View Switch hasn't been working properly. Whenever I move the switch, it changed the mode on the mode dial. Also, the switch doesn't seem to spring back as quickly as before. I feels jammed. Any ways to fix this? Thanks.

Light, sturdy tripod for Nikon?

Hiya, I'm not yet a professional photographer but am hoping to provide quality images to go with my travel writing. I own a Nikon D3100, some other basic equipment like a polarizer and ND filter. I have a sturdy tripod that is very heavy as I found out last weekend climbing Snowdon with it! I was wondering what are the best, lightest but still sturdy tripods out there for shooting landscapes?
Thanks:)

Decent non-expensive camera for cinematic filming?

I need a camera that 'at least' will work just as well as the Canon 70d. Just a camera for pointing and shooting. My price range is at least under 800 or 700. I tend to do a lot of fast movement and under extreme desert sunlight and cloudy weather. Sometimes maybe at night.

I know I'm gonna be suggested a dslr from canon/nikon/sony etc. And believe I know how well they work but I need a camera right that'll work just as well as them.

Nikon D7100 focusing issue?

I recently upgraded from a D3100 to a D7100; however, I'm finding the D3100 better and am very very disappointed with my D7100.

Here's the problem. I'm an automotive photographer and the D7100 rarely focuses on what I want it to. When shooting cars the car is out of focus or focuses on the people inside. It's extremely annoying.

I shoot AF-C with a 50mm 1.8 / 35mm 1.8 - the camera is new and so are the lenses so it is in perfect condition.

Could someone please advise - thanks

Why am I unable to take sharp photos with my 18-55mm lens?

It's my first DSLR camera (Nikon D5300), and the 18-55mm lens. I am still taking pictures in auto, but I feel that my pictures are not as sharp as the pictures I see of my friends with other lenses.
