[QUOTE="aroy, post: 486665, member: 16090"] If you want to use older Manual Focus Lenses without CPU, then the D3xxx and D5xxx would not work, except in fully manual mode - manual focus, manual exposure settings, manual flash setting. If you are comfortable with that then D3300 is the best option. Set it at ISO 100, Aperture Priority Mode and Shoot RAW. You need not fiddle with any other control. As I started with fully manual cameras and carried on with them till I changed to digital last year, manual settings and exposure calculation is automatic for me. Regarding DX, there is nothing different from FX, excepting that the field of view is narrower, so wide angle lenses are never that wide, but on the other hand the telephotos are longer. Unlike film, with digital you can verify immediately what you shot and whether the exposure was correct. If there is any thing lacking in the shot, shoot again after changing the settings. [/QUOTE]
