What type of camera to buy?

I'm a film student and I'm looking for a really nice, high quality camera to work with, preferably something that can shoot professional-ish grade stuff. I'm fine with most cameras, but I'm thinking something like a Nikon 3200 or something like that. I need something durable and can last but also shoots well.

If you have a camera you like and think it'd be good for me to use, please let me know! My price range is from around $200 to $600- $700, but I'd prefer it not to go higher then $650

Cheers!

Can i be a photographer if i am bad at maths?

I have no idea how to work out crop factors. It does in my head just to look at this stuff:

First, I have an A-level English degree. Next, I AM English. In England we correctly say "maths", as it is an abbreviated form of mathematics.

Finally, if I ever need the assistance of some obnoxious, condescending loser who thinks he can teach me my own language, I will be sure to send you a PM.

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!
