[QUOTE="Carl_Oxford_UK, post: 167311, member: 15359"] Hi I am hoping that someone here can give me some advice please. I have been using a compact digital camera for a number of years now and, having bought a DSLR for my girlfriend, I find myself wanting an SLR myself. I have a Nikon F60, with a Nikkor AF 28 - 80mm lens and a Tamron 100-300 lens. I would like to make use of my existing lenses with any new camera. Having done some research it appears that I can't make full use of auto focus with the lenses I have if I buy something like the D3200. To get autofocus I need something like a D90 or a D7100. So I could purchase a D90 or D7100 body, to use with the old lenses. But will this restrict me on what lenses I can purchase in the future? Will I be better off purchasing another camera body, putting up with having to use manual focus with these lenses given a better choice of further lenses. Hope that makes sense. Thanks Carl [/QUOTE]
