Taking Milky Way photos with Nikon D3300 with kit lens?
I have a Nikon D3300 and I want to attempt taking pictures of the Milky Way using the kit lens since that's all I have right now. What settings should I set the camera at (ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc.)? Thanks!

Upgrading from really old DSLR Camera to a Mirrorless, but need advice?
So I guess I am what you would call an amateur photographer. I've had a Canon Rebel XTI DLSR for years now w/ the kit lense it came with. But I am thinking its about time for an upgrade to a newer camera.
I want to be able to be more advanced level than a regular point and shoot, but also can take video which could be used to create vlogs, and be small enough for travel. I want something to use for underwater photos so was considering looking into waterproof housing. Hoping to keep the budget under/around $800 lens included.
I came across the Sony A6000 and it looks promising. The negative reviews on the kit lenses are disheartening but it could be wonderful for me. The camera is decent priced that I feel like I could buy a Neewer/Meikon underwater housing (because I don't have the money for a Nauticam).it scares me about the possibility of it leaking and ruining my camera, though I have seen good reviews.
also interested in Nikon 1 AW1 due to the fact that the camera is already suitable for underwater, But I've read a number of reviews that claimed leakage and it ruining the camera, which makes me nervous.
I wonder if I'd be better off getting the A6000 or a cheaper mirrorless and buying a cheaper actioncam with underwater housing for any water photos on the side, like the Xiaomi Yi, though I feel like I'd be sacrificing quality of underwater photos. Even though I know the Gopro is good, it would probably put me over my desired budget if I got it alongside a Mirrorless.

NIKON D5200 autofocus?
Okay so I have the Nikon D5200 which I use to record video. But when I use the AF-F setting the camera continues to "search" so a new focus causing my video to keep going in and out of focus every few seconds and making a loud lense noise which ruins the video. Is there a way I can have it autofocus but not as often? And a way to fix the loud sound? Would getting an external mic help?
Thank you!

Best Lenses for Nikon D7100?
Recently bought a Nikon D7100 and I am looking for an everyday lens. I am mainly looking for a couple of lenses, like a solid 0ne-two punch for the camera. I currently have the 18-105 lens from the kit and got a used lens from a family member (55-300). With the 55-300, I am limited to very far pictures and cannot get the full scene in the frame and I do not believe the 18-105 is going to cut it in the long run. I have heard the Tokina 11-16 is a nice wide angle lens as well as the Sigma 18-35 for an everyday. Are these two pretty good choices? Recommendations?
Thank you!

Best filters for Nikon 5300.18-140, 67mm filter?
hi,
i got a new dslr mentioned above,
what filter should i use. I don't want the image to be too dim by the using of polarized filters, tell me two filters to use in sun light which is polorised, and a normal filter for all time use, and it should be scratch and other resistant.
thank you,

Best SLR camera for beginners?
I'm hoping to spend less than $1000 on my camera. I don't want to be a professional photographer or anything, just have good quality photos to share with my friends, families, etc. I like taking pictures of the beach, skylines, street art, landscapes, etc. The lower the price, the better, but I want something that is worth it:) Also, I record videos. Which one would be the best for videos?
Canon Eos Rebel SL1
Sony Alpha A6000
Nikon D7000
Nikon D3300
Added (1). Thanks so much!

Canon T5 vs Nikon D3300?
Hi Im looking to buy a DSLR and its my first one so it doesnt have to be too professional. I want the Nikon D3300 or Canon T5. I did my research and found that the Nikon one had better reviews and was better than the Canon one. I want to use the DSLR for pictures and for filming youtube videos. Just simple videos where you sit and talk. Will the Nikon D3300 be better for vidoes and photos than the Canon T5? Thank you:)

Tips for switching to film?
I've been interested in photography for several years. I'm by no means a professional, but I know my way around a camera and I have a bit of experience. It's a hobby, but a fairly serious hobby. I have a few friends who are also photographers and some shoot film- they all started out on digital, in this modern day and age, but switched to film for various reasons. The most compelling one I have heard is that film forces you to really think about what you're shooting, because you have to pay for the film and pay for development and you can't just go and shoot several hundred shots in an afternoon. I have been thinking about joining (or at least trying out) the film world. I have a camera that was once my father's. I was just wondering if anybody had any tips for the technical aspects of switching. For example, I've heard about the sunny 16 rule (or something similar) where on a sunny day, at f/16, you can shoot ISO 100 film at 1/100s, or ISO 400 film at 1/400s, etc. I would mostly be using the film camera for landscapes and stick with my Nikon for sports.
If it helps, these are the cameras/lenses
Digital:
Nikon d7100
Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6
Nikkor 35mm f/1.8
Film:
Minolta SLR (not sure which model, as it's still shipping from across the country)
Minolta 55mm f/1.7
Minolta 28mm f/3.5
Saligor 300mm f/5.5
