[QUOTE="BobbyW, post: 119556, member: 13058"] Well, I suggest that you re-check your information/specifications thoroughly. [img]http://www.smileyfaze.tk/thumbs/Read%20the%20paper_smile28.gif[/img] The [I]latest[/I] Nikon Cameras can use all lenses new & old, but most of the Nikon Camera line do not have [B][U]AF Motors[/U][/B], which are usually contained in the lenses, not in the camera bodies. [img]http://www.smileyfaze.tk/slides/exitstageright.gif [/img] The only real advantage of using an older (D7000, etc...) camera with an internal motor IMHO is simply that you can use older (cheaper) pre [i]AF-S[/i] lenses, but also [i][b]IMHO[/b][/i] the loss of the advantages & latest advances in technology, speed, quietness, & accuracy would be a negative tradeoff. Your photographic needs & budgetary constraints are paramount issues that should be studied carefully. In the end the final choice is, of course, ultimately yours.
