Camera body and lences compatibility

[nochesencuba]

Dear Friends

I am a beginner and I would like to buy a camera, have in mind Nikon 3000 and would like to know how do one choose the lences compatibile with the camera body, what should I look for , because on most of the sites they sell just the body and the lences are sold separately. What is the criterium, the serial number, model, etc.

And I live in Europe, sorry for the stupid question, but is there some requirement for the lap top in which I will be plugging the cam to extract the pictures, I suppose there is a software to install on my PC and I am afraid it may not work on our PCs and laptps here.

Thanks a lot and please forgive me if I have asked a question, which had already been discussed in the forum.

I wish you all a lovely night and see you soon,

Manuela

Well your LENSES are compatable with adapters. Buy nikon you will need to buy nikkor, tamron, tokina, and sigma lenses that are all compatable with your body. Same the other way around if you buy a canon body.
Warning though be sure to chekc this first!. Tamron, Tokina and Sigma all make lenses for nikon and canon bodies. When making the purchase of the lens make sure you check that its compatable!

And if you are buying the D3000 make sure your lenses have AF-"S" since the camera does not have a built in focus motor or you can just manual focus but it takes time to get the hang of it.

Nikon's D40/D40x/D60/D3000/D3100/D5000/D5100 can auto focus with any of these lenses:
