Torn between Sony A5000 and Sony HX400V?

I am a casual photography enthusiast and currently own a Nikon Coolpix P500. I desperately want to upgrade but don't know which one to get! Main criteria is good quality photo. I do like the fact the HX400 has all in one and in one video I saw that it has a "peaking" feature when manually focusing. On the other hand A5000 has a much better image quality (I heard) but the lense that comes with it obviously doesn't give as much zoom.

I mostly use the camera when in vacation somewhere and hardly use my Nikon's 32x zoom. But it just feels more safe to have a zoom!

Can anyone please give me some suggestions? Thanks! :)

How to save a cropped image using Nikon View NX2?

I have a Nikon Coolpix L27 digital camera. I uploaded my images to the PC using the View NX2 program. I've cropped the image. I can't figure out how to apply the changes. I went to the help menu. It simply says to click apply. I can't find apply anywhere in the editing options. I've went under every tab. I still can't find where it allows me to save the image after being cropped. I've search on Google and YouTube seeking help. I haven't found anything about saving and/or applying changes after cropping an image. Can someone please help me? I'm very frustrated. Thanks:-)

Tips for photographing jewelry outdoors?

I am looking for tips to photograph my jewelry line and have had disastrous results with indoors photography for my jewelry. I have a Nikon Coolpix and am not too pleased with it at any rate but its all I can afford now. Would outdoor pictures be better and if so what colors should I shoot against (I am partial to black). I use a lot of brass, crystal and pearls. Please share any success you have had or tips that would help. I need to start advertising and get my product images online.
