You can look into a used D7000 which will run you about $600.  and with that it would open you up to lenses that have either internal autofocus motors or lenses that can autofocus from a camera that uses a drive motor to focus those lenses.With the remaining budget you can get yourself a 50mm 1.8D around $90 used or 120 new.  If you wanted to stretch your budget further, you can go with the D90 which was the predecessor to the D7000 and will run around $400 used.  With this it opens you up to owning more glass which would give you some flexibility.Just a matter of how you want to spend your money.</blockquote>
