re: Camera Recommendations

So we talked it over and decided to order her the D5300 body. Although I think I already screwed up because o got her a slightly longer lens to go with it and I I don’t think it’s going to work. After it was all done, I read that the D50 has an AF motor on the camera, whereas the newer models don’t (it’s in the lens). So I don’t think any of her current lenses are going to have AF on the new body. So I may return the lens I got her and get an AF-S lens so she’ll have auto focus on at least that lens. So much stuff to learn, I should have stuck to woodworking!
