Looking for a beginner dslr?

I might be going on a photo/hiking tour this summer so I'd like to be prepared and not look like a fool by bringing my little pocket coolpix…
I don't want to start out with something super expensive, if photography becomes a huge part of my life I can always upgrade. I was thinking I'd like to try to start with something in the 400-500 dollar range. I know that's a bit tough, but have any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

My Nikon Coolpix L830 camera is frozen and making a clicking noise?

As soon as I pressed the flash button it just went black and froze up. It keeps making a clicking noise and stops when I remove the batteries. I've tried replacing them and I've tried connecting it to the computer but it doesn't respond.

What do I do?

Why can't I take videos on my Nikon Coolpix S210?

In more detail I have the Nikon Coolpix S210. I recieved this as a gift for Christmas and around New Years I started taking videos with it. They all came out clear and there were no problems with it. A few weeks later I tried to take another video and the camera just flashed as if I were taking a picture, the screen went black and turned off with the lens still out. It never encountered water or anything like that but I have to admit I dropped it a few times but there is nothing else wrong with it. Is there anything I can do to fix this or should I use my warranty to get a new one?

-Also it definetely is on video mode. (:

thanks in advance

Nikon coolpix s4100 won't charge? - 1

I've had my nikon less then a year and it wont charge via wall charger or computer. I also tried my back up battery and it wont turn on or charge with that battery either.yes the batteries were installed correctly AND I even took out the memory card as I saw some other forums mentioned to do so without any luck. We bought it from best buy about 9 or 10 months ago so I don't think they will do anything about it since I didn't buy insurance on it. UGH. Any other way I can troubleshoot this to get it to work?

Black spot on camera screen?

There's a black spot on my camera screen (nikon coolpix 4600) and i don't know what's wrong with it. It's not on the lens or anything because it still takes pictures fine. But the screen is all white except for a black spot.

i took my camera to a fair yesterday and on the way, it was just fine.and then when i wanted to take a picture that black spot came out of nowhere.

do you think it was due to the heat? It wasn't that hot though, maybe around mid 70s-low 80s.here's a pic…

Best camera for concerts?

I'm going to a few concerts in August and I'm in need of a new camera.
I have a digital camera but its a Nikon Coolpix and its like really old and the quality of the pictures isn't that good anymore. The concerts I'm going to will have lots of lighting effects, I'm sure.
I need a good camera that won't break my bank.
