Some of the BEST Nikon lenses do not have focus motors in them but they try to sell a consumer camera to everybody expecting them to ONLY use consumer cheap lenses.

Buy a Canon 20D, 30D or 40D for $400-500 and then I can tell you what lenses to buy for another $500-700 and you will have a GREAT setup.
If it wasn't because of the cost associated with it (120 or 220 film) and how limited labs have become, to me, nothing beats my Hasselblad 500CM with my Carl Zeiss lenses. No automation. All manual but if good enough to go to the moon, darn good enough for me. Too bad it is all just sitting in camera cases collecting dust. To that, add my Mamiya C330's (three of them) and a number of other medium format cameras. I don't even want to get into the Lumedyne conversation as I will cry over how much is stored away.
