Photography Tips Guide

Okay, so I just got my money back from a warranty from my old camera, which got messed up while I was on vacation, and I’m looking to buy a new camera. I’m comparing these two and hoping that someone could tell me which would be better for me based on what I’ll use it for. I mostly do nature photography and take pictures of my friends. Here are the two cameras I’m looking at.http://exilim.casio.com/products_exs12.s…
I was thinking of getting another Exilim to replace my older model of Exilim. I like the interface it has as well as the best shot mode and the fact that it’s compact and easy to carry around with me everywhere I go.
This is the other camera I’ve been looking at, which I got to play with at Costco the other day.http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/…
I was impressed by the zoom and the fact that I could take clear pictures of people clear at the other end of the store, as well as the fact that it’s got a wide angle to it. The only con I can think of is that it’s kinda bulky and not as easy to carry around.
Any insight is appreciated, especially if you’re a pro or have used either of these cameras before. I’m leaning toward the Nikon, but haven’t quite finalized by decision yet and want to see what more photographers think.

The Cannon Digital Rebel XTi (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?…
Or the Nikon D40x (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?…
I will be using it primarily for close up’s, nature shots, landscapes, action shots of my friends and I snowboarding, and general family usage.
If there are any photographers that can help me out with this desision I would really appreciate it.
Also, what do you think of the lenses that come with these cameras? Are they worth buying or should I buy the camera body and a different lense?

I paid my wedding photographer $1000 to take our wedding pictures and make an album for us. It took him until 3.5 months after the wedding to get the pictures to us, but he sent the pictures and mats loose in a box along with the album, and told us to put the album together ourselves. The pictures REEKED of smoke (like a mixture of cigarette smoke and just smoke smoke). They have been sitting on my counter airing out for a week now and they still smell bad.
I emailed the photographer and told him how upset I was, and he was very apologetic. He offered to make things right for us and even refund us for the shipping. The album he gave us was poor quality and ugly to boot, so we told him we’re just going to have someone else put an album together for us.
He offered to put the album together for us (I guess the last few brides he delt with long-distance wanted to put their albums together themselves, so he assumed I’d want to to), and was very apologetic.
I had been waiting to tip him until I received the finished product, but now I just don’t know. I’m stuck with loose pictures that reek and no album, but the pictures themselves are lovely. I feel bad for him because he seemed genuinely sorry for the mishap.
Should I tip him or not? If so, how much????

I really want to get myself started in digital photography and I would like to know which of these models is the best one. I want a camera that’ll give me good performance, cool results, and that I can still use for personal (life/family) and it’ll still be very eye catching and stylish. Here are the models:
Sony 7.2 MP DSCW55 Cyber-shot Digital Camera
Casio 7.2 MP Exilim EX-Z75BK Digital Camera
Fujifilm 6.3 MP FinePix Z5fd Digital Camera
Olympus 7.1 MP FE230 Digital Camera
Hope someone can help me out. I anyone has any other suggestions, they’ll be more than welcome. Thanks!
