How often do you use auto-focus? Is it something you could live without?
I've got two Nikon DSLRs in the family. My daughter's old D100 & my D3000. As you know, auto-focus is built into the body of her camera, not on mine. So, the AF lens I bought my camera with (both used a few weeks ago) doesn't "work" & I have to focus manually. I can put the lens on her camera & it works fine.
So I've been having to focus manually, and at our get together the other night, there were times I was taking several shots one after the other. Well, after reviewing the photos on a bigger screen, it appears many are not in focus. So, I'm thinking of getting an auto focus lens.
On her D100, she has three options for the focus on her camera; manual, Single, Continuous.
Are these modes built into the lens, or would I need to upgrade my camera to get continuous auto focus?
