So you asked the questions but then failed to read the replies before buying your camera.  

If the Nikon suits then all's well and good. Only you will know.

Regarding reading, the first book I read was Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.

It will teach you all you need to know for now and the future.

It is a 35mm book, but the way you do it is the same...its just a digital outcome

It appears so! 

I had a long chat with the bloke who answered most of my questions regarding the cameras 

I will have a look at book, thanks
