TPF Noob!
Follow-up question - can someone explain the difference between the D50 and D70? Looking at the specs they appear to be the same??
Thanks

How big do you want to print? I have been using a D40 (6MP) for a few years, and am quite happy with it. I am almost (but not quite) to the point of wanting to upgrade.
I have printed 15"x20" with no image degradation, at all.
Interesting! Odds are I would never be printing anything larger than that. Typically I would expect to print 4X6, 5X7 or 8X10. Odds are, mostly I'd be viewing on computer screens or maybe on our TV (42" plasma) (you know - boring the kids with the modern day vacation slide show).
Hmmmmm- if I can stay with the 6MP D70 or D70s that would probably save me some $!
All of them have a built-in AF motor--EXCEPT the "Baby Nikons", which are the D40,D40x,D60,D5000,D5100,D3000,D3100,D3200.
The D50 and D70 and D70s DO have the motor!!!

I'm planning to buy a used Nikon DSLR and have been told that in order for the camera to use some lenses I got from my grandfather's estate (all Nikon mounts, but they were from 35mm film SLR Nikon cameras) I need to get one with the motor in the body. I'm told that would be the D80, D90 and maybe some others.
Does anyone have a list of Nikon DSLR cameras with the built-in AF motor?
I'm on a pretty limited budget and am hoping to spend about $250 on a camera body.
BTW - I'm 53 and from Hartland, WI

Is it still available? If so, what are the accessories, what is the condition of all the components and what is the price? Do let me know, please? Thank you!If you're interested I have a Nikon D50 (with the build in AF motor) that I'm trying to sell right now, with a handful of accessories, extra battery, and kit lens.
