Used vs New, what to look for?

[gregtallica]

Can I ask one more question?

So, one feature of this camera I like is the built in auto-focus motor. Does this mean it will work with any Nikon mount auto-focus lens, new or old? In other words, if I just search BH Photo for Nikon mount, any auto-focus lens will focus. Correct?


I thought that's what I have read, but don't want any surprises. I heard FX lens will still mount, but won't look/react the same, and any AF lens or AF-S lenses will work.

Yes, it'll be able to focus older non-afs lenses. I don't understand the 2nd part of your question.. about FX lenses not looking/reacting the same, unless you just mean the crop factor.. (focal length + 1.5) example, 50mm will have a 75mm equivalent on a crop sensor.

That is what I meant, with one exception, which I already know the answer to, I think. Example - if you're using an FX fisheye with 150 degree viewing range, a DX sensor would see only 120 degrees or so, with less distortion from the wide angles. (I don't know what actual numbers are, just putting together an example.)
