Where can I learn how to use digital cameras?

I currently have a Nikon Coolpix P80. I recently have really gotten into photography and I would like to get a DSLR camera during Christmas sometime. However, by the time I get the new camera I want to know how to use my current camera very well so that I can know how to use the new one proficiently as well. I am at a very beginner level currently. Where can I learn how to become a good photographer. I know I have to learn though experience but I am very willing to spend hours taking pictures. Where can I learn what all the terms mean and how to adjust them to do what I want them to do. Thank you!

Why does my point and shoot camera have such a big zoom compared to a DSLR lens?

A while ago I was into photogrophy and I got a Nikon Coolpix P80. Recently I have gotten a lot more into taking pictures and I have been looking at a lot of DSLR cameras and their lenses. Why does my Coolpix have an 18X zoom and is 27-486mm, while a normal DSLR kit lens is 18-55mm. The Coolpix has a much larger range. Why is this? How can they do that on the Coolpix normal lens? Sorry this is a beginner question, but as I said I am just getting into it all.

My CoolPix L820 won't turn on?

Batteries are charged. On/Off light doesn't light. Screen is black. Lens doesn't move out. NOTHING happens when I press On/Off switch. This is a new camera (7 months old).

How to get my Nikon Coolpix L110 to take better pictures without flash?

Whenever I'm unable to use flash when taking a picture-- like in a museum, for example-- the picture ALWAYS turns out blurry. Always. I use my Nikon Coolpix L110, and even when I use a different setting (like, as I used previously, when I'm in a museum I set it to museum) it's not a stable picture. I've tried every setting there is, as well as tried fixing it through the camera menu. If I'm unable to have this feature (which I need half the time), I'll have to buy a new camera!
I don't know what to do! Please help!

Thank you!

Camera has a DC - 5.0V port?

What is it for? My camera isn't marketed as chargeable, only battery powered. It's a Nikon Coolpix L820. It didn't come with a charger, only a USB cord and HDMI cord.
What is the DC - 5.0V port for? Google shows it's a charging port, but I don't think my camera is actually chargeable.
It would be nice if it is chargeable, four batteries go dead pretty quick with just minimal usage.

Sorry for repetitive details, lol.
Thanks.

How to get money fairly quickly at 13?

Hiya! Okay so, I want a good camera because the one I have now is really awful. I want to take good pictures and make a scrapbook about this summer but I don't wanna horrible pictures. So I want to buy a waterproof camera to take pictures at the beach and pool as well as other summer stuff. I'm deciding between two:

Or a refurbished one of these:

Pictures from my camera were not saved properly and will not erase and freeze my camera?

I have a nikon coolpix s4000. A few pictures on my memory card were not saved properly somehow and are just blank screens and it says files contain no image, but when I try deleting them it freezes my camera and will not erase them. I can't upload any of the pictures I have taken after I took the pictures that contain no image and I would really not like to lose those images but when I try uploading them to my computer it won't upload any of them because it says there's an error with images. I know there is nothing wrong with my camera because it still takes pictures and works fine. I just can't erase the pictures that are freezing my camera and say files contain no images. Please help?

Thoughts on Nikon Coolpix L110?

So I'm thinking of getting the Nikon Coolpix L110 within the next few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone would recommend this camera? What are some pros and cons?
I'm looking for extremely good photo quality, so I don't really care about the video on it.
Is there any other cameras anyone would recommend within the same price range as the Nikon Coolpix L110 that takes better quality pictures?
Thank you! :)
