I am going to watch Miley Cyrus in concert tomorrow at the MEN arena. I am taking my Nikon D3000 camera with me but don't know which settings to have it on for the best possible photo's. Can anyone help me?
Most concerts do not allow DSLRs. You could be turned away at the gate. Take a smaller camera.

Will my old Minolta 35 mm lenses fit my new nikon d3000 camera. Can i buy an adapter to make them fit?
A Minolta mount isnt a Nikon mount. The Minolta lenses may fit Sony DSLRs. Sony bought Minolta and kept the original Maxxum mount now sold as Sony Alpha.
You would have to check if there are adapters available to use Minolta lenses on a Nikon body. They definitely wont fit directly.

I recieved a Nikon D300 Digital Camera for Christmas. It is a FANTASTIC camera but I can only use the viewfinder to take a photo. I would LOVE to be able to use the display screen to take pictures. Can you help me?
Why on earth would you want to use a perfectly fine, fully adjustable camera like you would a P&S camera?
The good news is you cannot. There is no live view on that camera, so you are going to have to use it just like photographers have been using theirs for decades, looking through the viewfinder.
Just think a minute. How much camera movement (which causes blur) do you think you are going to put into your images when holding a nearly two pound camera at arm's length?
The other point I guess I need to make is live view is really only used when the camera is attached to either a microscope or telescope and in both cases attached to an AC adapter, because those large LCD's use up a lot of battery power. There is another time the live view is used and that is when the camera is on a tripod and is in a studio shooting products ... again using an AC adapter.
You have a wholly different camera now. Forget any of the bad habits you may have learned with a P&S and start learning how shoot your fine camera the way photographers have done for decades. To learn how to do that, you may find taking a class in photography if only to learn how to hold your camera correctly (which is in your owners manual). Perhaps the only way to learn how to use a camera is to take your time. Stop using "auto" settings, "Program" settings and go right to using the camera in the manual mode and use the light meter in the viewfinder to choose your exposures and see what happens when you shoot at slow shutter speeds or with the aperture wide open.

I would like to know how to make movies and videos on this camera. It says Video Modes and stuff but I cannot take a video. Will you help me?
Unfortunately, from everything I've read the D3000 does not take videos. Which is one of the reasons I chose to buy the D5000 instead. Hope someone is better able to help you, but I have a feeling the video mode you're seeing on your camera is part of the playback that will allow you to see your stills in a slideshow sort of format.
Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Nikon Starter Digital SLR Camera Case – Gadget Bag for D5000 ...
This is a great bag with all of the features you want for a ’starter’ bag. It has two heavy-duty clasps which securely fasten the cover shut yet allow it to be opened with one hand quickly. With the velcro partitions the user can redefine the space for cameras, lenses, and attachments. It only comes in one colortrim combination – BlackGold. A most adaquate camera bag!
I purchased this bag about 8 months ago. I have been a photographer for about 10 years now and have used lots of bags. I have bags for all of my film SLR cameras. I am yet to find the perfect bag but this one works well for my Nikon D60.
I carry in it a D60 with an attached 35mm 1.8 dx lens (with reversed hood), an 18-135mm dx zoom (with reversed hood), a 50mm 1.4 ai, a 50 mm 1.8 d, USB transfer cable, body cap, spare rear lens cap, remote control, extra SD card, lens pen, spare battery, lens cloth, couple of 52mm filters and could I squeeze the battery charger into the front pocket if need be. I still have room in the main compartment for one more prime lens if I need it.
