As it turns out - my lenses from the 70s did indeed fit. Without in-body focus though, and given the age of the lenses, the results... Read full review »

Similar to the canon 500D this nikon has some extra features the canon does not. Most notable is the screen being able to be rotated around which comes in handy when shooting over a crowd or in other tricky situations. The camera does feelin a little akward to hold. It's a great first DSLR for... Read full review »
