Hmm, I'm not seeing any D7100 near that price. I see five listed in the GTA at $750-950 CAD, Body only.

I think that deal was only good for one day. I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up again, though.

Yeah the record time limits are implemented on DSLRs based on some arbitrary classification of something being a still or video camera. I think it's 15 or 30 minutes?

30 minutes, from what I've heard. It's an EU thing.

What's the best (or least-bad) free program for working with my RAW files? I've been using one called RawTherapee. It's worked fine for me, but I also only have small knowledge of a few ideas like saturation and contrast, so even the basic editing panel has many more sliders than I understand.

To stoke even more autistic rage in the thread, here's a video from Tony Northrup talking about RawTherapee (which I use, it's OK) and PhotoScape X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWC-SAuYOzw

I was looking at this one here but I'm not sure how Amazon Basics are for quality https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00CDS9EKE

I know I'm not the only one here who likes the Amazon Basics backpack. It's not the best bag ever made or anything, but it works well enough.

I personally prefer messenger style bags over backpacks but thank you for the tip regardless!

Sure, I was more pointing out that the Amazon Basics stuff is decent enough quality.

My buddy wants to buy my Nikon D5100 + the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens I have with a few accessories. What would be a good price? Don't want to rip him off, want to be fair.

Depending on condition $300 would probably be pretty fair.

Is a refurbished Nikon D3200 a good place to start?

Personally, for a $399 refurbished camera I'd go with the D3300 because:

It's a little newer, so getting it repaired is less likely to be a hassle.
It comes with a kit lens that has VR, which is enough on its own to be worth switching.
The battery should last noticeably longer than the 3200.

Adorama has Nikon D3100 bodies for $199 right now - what's a decent general purpose lens I can add to that for like under a hundred bucks for a budget starter kit? I can't really throw much more at this project.

You can still get a refurbished 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II for $100.

Of the ones you listed, this would be the kit that I would recommend. The camera will be good, and the two kit lenses are pretty highly regarded (for kit lenses, I'd still suggest getting the 35mm f/1.8 as well just because it's so cheap and good).
