Nikon D60 taking dark pictures?


I've had my nikon for a while now, and I haven't used it for a few months until now. When I take pictures they come up very dark, even if I'm in a well lit or bright room. I've tried fiddling with the settings, changing the image quality, the white balance. Nothing seems to work. I'm not exactly an expert on my camera but can someone give me advice on what I could do?

Upgrading from Nikon D90?


I currently shoot with a Nikon D90 (raw, manual, usually with a 50mm f1.4 or 35mm 1.8, primarily people). I am looking to upgrade to something with better high ISO capability and more focusing ability (for example, I feel like I have to up the f stop too much to achieve focus on more than one eye). $1500 is the top end of my budget. I am looking at the D7200, although the D7100 has also interested me since the D7200 has lowered it's price. I have done some review research but was looking for "real life" advice.

Can I bring a DSLR into The Greek Theatre?


I'm going to a concert next week at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, and I want to bring in a camera. The only camera I have is a DSLR (a Nikon D3200). It's a smallish camera (for a DSLR), and I will have a prime lens on, but I'm afraid it is too 'professional' looking. I know the venue says no cameras with a detachable lens are allowed, but I've been to others venues that have stated that and there are TONS of people that still bring them in. What would they do if I still tried to bring it in? Has anyone ever been stopped and turned away because of it?

Best lens for surf photography? - 1


I've asked before, but I forgot to add a lot of detail.
I've been looking at the Tamron 70-300mm f/4, but I feel like it's *too cheap*. Any other lenses around that price range, up to 100$ more?
BTW, I shoot Nikon D3200.

Why won't my camera turn on?


I was just in the middle of taking some photos, when my camera went off. I left it for a while, tried again and then it turned on. But the next day it wouldn't turn on at all. I have a spare battery and made sure both were charged, and tried both. I've removed SD card and lens, nothing. Normally when you remove lens or SD card a light flashes (provided battery is in), and that didn't happen. I've checked the battery contacts and they're clean.
My camera is (was?) a Nikon D3200.
