(1) Is this camera good for an amateur (with no photography experience) who just wants to take great quality pics?
|
Taking great quality photos is 90% the photographer and 10% the equipment. You have to understand lighting and what the camera can do, otherwise a camera like this is wasted. Take a basic course in photography and you take great photos with any camera.

(2) How much is the lens and tripod?
|
How much do you want to spend? You can get lens and tripod for less then $100 each, or you can spend $1,000+ for each. I spent about $800 for the lens (f2.8 zoom).

((6) If you keep your finger on the button will it keep taking pics and make that automatic photo shooting noise that you hear at the start of the Duran Duran song "Girls On Film". [/B]

There may be a mode to do that, but with normal settings you have to click each shot. But you can bang them out pretty quickly in that mode. If you're shooting action it's great.
I haven't seen any problems with sharpness. The lens has a lot to do with the sharpness
