Yes, I've used this adapter to successfully attach a few different lenses to my GH2.
Everything goes manual (of course), and the focal length is basically double the lens' listing, but otherwise pretty straight-forward, and works just fine.
yes, but they are mostly manual unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars for an electric one and the electric ones are relatively new and unreliable

you are better off selling the 50 1.8 with the d3200 or by itself when it's time and buy the g7
1.4 blur refers to having a sharp subject and the background out of focus. Fast lenses have a high aperture (which is a small number, 1.4 is faster than 2.8 etc). Search "bokeh" and you'll see a lot of examples.
You can get any old lens - minolta, nikon, canon, olympus, pentax, and others. Here's an example from KEH - very well trusted and respected dealer. If you search their site, look for 35mm equipment - fixed focal length lenses.
Remember that a 50 mm lens (like the one above) will act as a telephoto on your micro 4/3 format, like a 100mm lens (there are other changes too but later for those) and bring the subject twice as close. If you bought a 100mm lens, it would act like a 200mm and bring the subject 4 times as close. (No free lunch: focusing is difficult and must be done manually.)
You need one of these to connect it to your camera. There are some made for all kinds of lenses.
I'd say start with the a 50. Check with your local craigslist. Usually something there.
Post some photos!
This one is a basic adapter. Or this for a speedboosting adapter with aperture control.

Correct. This is a manual lens, so the adapter is essentially just a spacer..
I'm actually selling a Micro-Nikkor 55 for $50; the older non-Ai version is potentially even less because you can't fit it to much these days.
The biggest drawback of the Sony A7s is terrible rolling shutter, it would not be a good for sports and fast motion video. The Black Magic Pocket is a haphazard novelty camcorder in my opinion. I've had a few on rental that had operating issues, there's a reason the price dropped so drastically on those. Consider maybe the Panasonic GH4 for your video needs. This adapter should work for your Nikon F mount lenses to micro-fourthirds. Not the best for low light however.
Honestly, it's on its way to being outdated but a Canon 5d Mark III works well in low light, shoots full-frame video, and is still a powerhouse of a stills camera.
There's a couple options you could go with.
If I was you, I'd probably go with a MFT to Nikon dummy adapter, then search Ebay for some used Nikkor glass (AIS lenses are much better if you can afford it). Nikkor glass is all manual so a dummy adapter will work just fine. You can find a good Nikkor lens for under $150. Just remember, get as wide of a lens as possible since the BMPCC has a 2.88x crop factor.

Another thing you could do is just buy some Panasonic Lumix glass then you won't need an adapter. This option is a bit more expensive.
Here's a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6. This lens is in your budget but it's a rather slow lens and has a variable aperture, which is quite annoying.

Here's another Lumix lens that is a little over your budget but I think it's definitely worth the money. It's pretty wide at 14mm which equates to about 40mm on the BMPCC, close to a standard focal length. And it's fast at f/2.5.

The reason I suggest the first option is because Nikkor lenses are great and can work on so many cameras. Also, eventually you could save up and buy a Metabones Nikon to BMPCC Speedbooster. It's pretty pricey at $490 but it does some amazing things, like decrease the crop factor from 2.88x to 1.75x and adds almost 2 stops of light.
Also, don't expect to get your BMPCC anytime soon. I ordered mine two weeks ago and I still expect to wait a few more before it even ships.
