You can use a newest 24mm or 40mm pancake, as well as a couple of other Canon lenses, from cheapest telephoto 55-250IS that creates meaningfully crispy images to a notable 70-200/2.8L IS, an uncomparable medium telephoto with heavy impact on both your gear weight and your budget. Still, you will...

In my opinion, the Panasonic's capabilities to shoot videos are exceptional for all but most extremal video shooters. A range of mountable m4/3 optics, a good sensor and reasonable prices allow shooting more conveniently than if you will use a small-sensor hand camera or a phone. Therefore, if...

1. Can you show your images on a camera's LCD and cannot see these images on an external computer, viewing your SD as a hard drive? 2. Or vice versa, maybe you can see these images on a PC but not on a camera LCD? 3. Try to export images from a camera with Google Picasa, Apple iPhoto or other...

If you have no doubt about limitations of DSLRs then you may try Canon 100D (in some countries it can have another index). This is a good starting DSLR for videos, and it has a full set of manual modes.

If you want to try artistic aspects, not just technical quality, I recommend you to buy some Olympus or Fujufilm model, maybe with a fixed lens, and to remove it for no single minute of your life! Shoot all, try all, make no decisions about "which optics I must try when I will shoot so-and-so"...

Canon printers are REAN nuisanse for all OS except Windows! Try to download and re-install also latest firmware if it is possible, to refresh the printer's capabilities. I must tell that once a time, even these measures for my Canon color laser printer (sorry I can't remember its exact model...

Yes, the 750D is a trustworthy camera if you are fixed on Canon. But it is completely a matter of personal purposes, as said before. I sold my Canon 6D and take Fujifilm X-E2 with a 35mm lens, which did not impair quality of my photos and brought me many options for shooting where I can't risk...

All flip-screen models of Canon and Nikon are in the bigger price group, anyway! I think if the flip-screen is your principal requirement, you can try some micro4/3 at the same price tag and video quality. Best regards!

Often I'm not a fan of some brand, but with the requirements signed (fast lens and light overall price tag) I would recommend Nikon to the topic starter. Nikon has a geat 35/1.8 fast standard lens, much more universal and slightly more functional than Canon's 50/1.8 II.

Take the one you like more, without a doubt. One small consideration is that Canons are a bit more dedicated to people, while Nikons are a bit more perfect for landscape and street photos... Oh, not mind! Just take the one you feel more comfortable or stylish!

Compact cameras from these list are all have some flaws; as you are planning to learn about photo I suggest you to look at "mirrorless" cameras instean such as Samsung NX, Nikon 1 or Olympus E-PM2 (PM1). These cameras are perfect for image qiality, can shoot in full-auto mode or in advanced mdes...

1. Try to use non-Windows computers having slightly different device protocols. 2. Try to copy or repair the card using physical-level utilities, e.g. GParted (do it accurately!). 3. Save backups as frequently as you can as SDs, unlike CFs, have an annoying tendency to degrade spontaneously...

No "best camera" existed both for beginners and pros! Any person can grab his or her "best" camera which will be just a crap for many others. But if you want exactly what you describe (e.g. DSLR), take a Canon 100D and some optics marked as "STM": kit, telephoto and 40mm "pancake". This kit will...

It seems to be a case as your computer can't read card data and suggests you are inserted the unformatted card (instead of broken). The possible solution is to try the card (carefully) in your camera and use the camera's plugging cord to transfer the data to your computer.

Fuji makes perfect cameras in terms of colors, optics and in-cam JPEGs but beware a relatively slow auto-focus of these models! Trying shooting sports you may be required to use manual focusing instead!
