Best jack of all trades lens for Nikon D70?

I've just bought an old Nikon D70 but it came without a lens. Can anyone recommend a cheap lens that I can get that will let me take photos of bars of soap and general family photos at the park etc.

I don't need a mega zoom and won't take pictures of tiny objects and just want a cheap all-rounder to get me started.

Thanks!

My father bought me a Nikon D5600 camera with 18-55mm AF-P lens for my birthday! Does anyone have any photo tips for beginners?

Embarrassingly enough, I've never actually used a real camera before so needless to say, I'm pretty intimidated by this camera because there are so many options! But I had mentioned once that I wanted to try photography so my father surprised me with this as a gift and I'd really like to give it a try. Do you have any tips for someone who has literally never picked up a real camera before? Any advice would be helpful! I'd like to take some nice shots around town to show my dad!

Night Time Wedding Tips?

I'm an amateur/intermediate photographer that has been asked to photograph a wedding. I'm needing good advice on the best (and affordable) lenses and soft box lighting equipment for a dimly lit ceremony and reception. Something that will create crisp photos with minimal noise.

The wedding will take place at exactly 5:30 pm (when the sun is setting) at an antebellum home. It will be outdoors and the reception is in the dimly lit side home. They will have several flood light shining on the bride and groom, as well as hanging lanterns, but not much else. No over head lights as the home is not wired for them.

I understand this will be a tough job with a lot of preparation. I'm merely asking for lens / lighting suggestions.

My camera is Nikon D3100

Photography Question?

I'm a teenager and I'm thinking about saving up to buy a Nikon d750 camera, because rn I have a Sony camera but I don't like how it works, so can someone help me decide what lens to get? Because I have no clue what each different lens does so i don't know which one to get. I plan on using my camera for taking photos of my family, but also nature. Can someone help me?

Buy phone gimbal or DSLR gimbal?

I'm looking into buying my first gimbal. I've pretty much decided which one in either category I would be buying. I've only been into photography/videography for about a year. Here are relevant things I have:

Dji Phantom 3 Pro
Nikon D3200
3 lenses (2 kit, 105mm Macro)
Tripod
Galaxy S9
Adobe Suite (all apps)

I'm wondering would it be better to exclusively use my Galaxy S9 and buy a phone gimbal? Or should I buy a DSLR gimbal so I can use the bigger camera? With the DSLR gimbal, I should be able to attach my Galaxy S9 with some adapters. Is that a better idea?

I used iso 800 on my nikon d5300. Pictures were too grainy. Used kit lens wide open?

is this normal with a crop sensor camera?

does the lens affected the iso capability of a sensor?

does the kit lens fail as iso goes higher? Sharpness go down?
