No AF  motor and your 50 will be manual but you may focus manually all the time  and this doesn't matter. I love the option of picking up older lenses  with a built in AF motor equipped body. The 7000 will give you great build quality, faster shutter, better on  camera control, better view finder, commander mode for speed lights etc.  If you are looking into the 7000 or above don't buy below that model.  The newer 3200 and 5200's have more MPs but other than that not much  improvement. Not many people need the swing out lcd but if you find yourself needing live view at crazy angles those  may be a better choice for that feature.</blockquote>
