So don't get me wrong here -- because the new autofocus stuff will fit on a old body - but, of course - it won't autofocus.... but it will attach to the body and you could manually focus and set f stops etc.
What I was trying to point out is -- should you want to sell and upgrade your body at some time - if you have a mainstream camera brand such as a Nikon or a Canon - this is super easy and you don't have to change lenses and accessories etc.
Trust me - if you like photography.... and it is just another disease... you WILL want to upgrade or change stuff around. Not having to buy new lenses (the most expensive part of the hobby is the lenses) is an extremely important "function".

Thanks for the info Greg.
Changing bodies in the future is a good option but I can't catch the photography disease...cause the resto-mode disease is all I can take.
If you have ever noticed, what brand of camera's have you seen people use?
Is there any one reason why you bought your children Nikon's over Canon's?
