I had both a D3100 and a D5100 and wasn't really satisfied for the reason you just mentioned and I wanted a more pro type body without the menu driven settings.Nikkor D lenses seem to be cheaper than the AF-S lenses and are still very good quality. Frankly I like them better personally.So in my opinion I think your right, and though you save on the body getting some pretty good tech, you seem to lose on the lens costs if you want AF instead of manual focus.I'm pretty sure you could use the model lens I have, but you'd have to focus manually until you upgraded your Nikon to a model that has the AF motor built in.</blockquote>
