[QUOTE="bluebird, post: 189296, member: 16097"] I used manual focus for a long time while I was still on film, but I suppose I've gotten much pickier about my results since then :) After the feedback here, I'm leaning towards autofocus after all so if I take the camera out and about, I can get a family member to take a picture of me without worrying about their manual focusing skills (while I try not to panic about whether said family member is about to drop my camera). I read the specs, but practically speaking, what are the important differences between the D and the G? Looks like I can swing either the D plus an SB-700 (the other thing on my wish list) or the G and have to wait a bit for the SB-700 (for bounce lighting portraits on gloomy days). [/QUOTE]
