[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 167319, member: 13090"] The lenses you have now require a camera body with a built-in focus motor in order to auto-focus because the lenses themselves do *not* have focus motors. You gots to have a motor, somewhere, to drive the AF and if your lens doesn't have one, the camera body needs to. So, in short, you want to buy a camera body with an AF motor. D70's and above have AF motors. The D3xxx and D5xxx series do *not*. Right now I would suggest either the D7000 or the D7100. Hope that helps! [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
