[QUOTE="aroy, post: 358716, member: 16090"] None of the older lenses have motors in them, so they will not AF on the D3xxx or the D5xxx series. You need a D7xxx at least. If you can manage, try and get a D610. If cannot budget for a new one, the D610 refurbished is quite attractively priced. You will have full width as in film and a motor in body to AF older lenses. You can also meter with the non CPU AI/AIS lenses. Unless you need WiFi, GPS and a swivel screen I find D3300 a much better body compared to the D5300. There is no point in buying the D5200, unless you are severly budget restricted. [/QUOTE]
