Nikon D7000 Focus-lock besides AE-L AF-L button?

I just replaced my D70s with a D7000. The D70s allowed me to press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus, and then recompose my picture without the focus changing before pressing the button the rest of the way for a photo.

I want to have the AE-L AF-L button as a dedicated AE-L exposure lock only.

Is there a setting in the menu that allows the focus to be locked via pressing the shutter halfway? I've looked through the manual and looked through the menu and haven't figured it out yet.

Thank you for your help!

Nikon camera not working?!

Hi there. I m having an issue with my digital camera, which is a few years old. I have to press the power button several times to turn on or hold it for a few seconds then it will turn on and shut off. I try several times and it just keeps shutting off after a second or two of turning it on. Even when the battery is fully charged! Should I have to get a new camera or find a replacement battery for it? I really can t afford a new camera right now. Thanks!

Astronomy stargazing binoculars suggestions?

Okay so I've been doing a little bit of research on what to get for my first pair of stargazing binoculars because I'm taking a astronomy course for school this year. The most popular pair on Amazon.com is 15x70. When I was researching it said for beginners anything above 10x was hard to use for beginners. I want a good pair of stargazing binoculars for a noob like me. My price budget is $100. It would be awesome if you guys could make some suggestions for me:)
Added (1). Oh yeah, here's the ones I'm looking at right now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008Y0VN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

100D Canon vs D3300 Nikon?

Hi guys, well im a bit stuck, I have held both the cameras at the store and they felt quite similar, but the Canon felt a bit, a very small bit better. Next thing I want to consider is the kit lens, what kit lens is better? So I have done some research and this is what I found:

Nikon D3300 -- Canon 100D

Image quality: 82 -- 63 (also I want to mention my friend has some (good)lenses and a speedlite)
Weight: Similar, very similar
Speed: 5fps -- 4fps
Noise: 1385 -- 843
AF: 11 -- 9
Dynamic Range: 12.8 -- 11.3

AA Filter: No (better) -- Yes
HDR: No (manual) -- Yes
Weather: I dont care about this one
Movie: 60 fps -- 30 fps
Battery: Nikon

So, I have been to a shop, held both, did some research, I still can't pick, keep in mind that this is my first DSLR, but I have used one and know the ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture stuff and want to experiment more. Keep in mind my friend has a lot of accessories for Canon but the initial Nikon specs look better, however it lacks HDR. So what one is better?
