Hello all!! I live on the north shore of Lake Erie near Port Dover Ontario. I have a couple of Nikon film cameras. A F90X and a F401. I have a Nikkor AF 35-105MM lens and a Tamron AF Aspherical LD 28-200MM lens. I'm looking to buy a digital camera and thinking of the D5300. Can I use my present lenses on one?? Also this would be my first digital SLR camera. Do the digital cameras have the same manual control over speed, light, focus like the film camera or is everything automatic with very little user creativity allowed??? Excuse my ignorance about the digital SLR cameras.
