Yes, but ALL of their compatible lenses do...unlike many Nikon lenses.
The trade off is that Canon switched their lens mount back in 1987, so their SLR lenses made prior to that, are not compatible with new cameras. Nikon didn't switch their mount when introducing Auto Focus, so you can still mount old Nikon lenses to new Nikon cameras....the only issue being that the new entry level DSLR cameras don't have the focus motor like higher level bodies do.
For most people, this won't be an issue at all....but some might be disappointed if they expected their new camera to fully work with older lenses they might have or want to buy.
I was at a few camera shops today they said the Pentax no where compares to either the Canon or Nikon. I was thinking of getting a bigger lens not jut the 18-55. Is it cheaper to buy a body then a bigger lens? or a 18-55 kit then buy a lens? or a upgraded kit like and 18-55 and some other one?. Like I was thinking with a different lens stores offer the D5000 for about $1200 why not pay $100 more for a D90 then you get a better body and a good lens like a big one. I might give you a call lol
Holy **** no way in hell would I pay 1200 bucks for a entry level camera with lens. You could get a refurbished Nikon D300 for that cost! Seriously before you spend any money - let us know your budget. You can be directed to quality refurbished cameras for a lot less saving yourself a ridiculous sum of money.
As for the retailers - they no doubt told you that so you wouldn't be disappointed when they told you they didn't carry Pentax. Pentax's lens lineup might be "weaker" but theres no camera on the market that isn't able to produce excellent photos.
Everyone carries Pentax or at least all the camera stores I went too and Futureshop so I don't see any biast things on that part. They also told me to stay away from Sony they're garbage.
All kits come with an 18-55 lens kit which is good but in the future is it worth it? Like should I purchase a body and lens separate?. Like the 5000 has 3 different options 18-55 Kit, Body, 18-55 and 55-200, 18-105.
The prices range from $850 for the 18-55 kits to $1100 *SALE*. I was thinking like when upgrading lens and stuff I might aswell get like a D90 those come with a good lens.
Main thing Im shooting is cars I want my photos similar to this guys:
