Can Nikon D5000 accept non-AFS lens

[RezzShaz]

how many shops sales actually will mention that the D5000 will only AF with certain lenses?

I don't think they mention unless u ask.
Usually they will recommend a better model if u mention a higher budget.....

Actually I don't think a camera body usable only AF-S lens is handicap, just look at the AF-S lenses Nikon have...

if anyone think it is a limitation to him or her, than should consider get a higher model body.

i think its not so much the availability of the af-s lenses that is a limitation as much as the cost of the lenses vis-a-vis af lenses of similar focal lengths.

the flip down screen really isn't that great you know...unless you really keep putting your camera above head and trying to take pictures..haha

haha, i'm just to pampered by my old powershot. shot everything from the screen.
having an angle finder now but it's not easy and it is clunky.

a pity that nikon don't build the screw motor down the line. cost and weight reduction, bah.

the cost of the AF-S Nikkor lens is just too expensive compared to AF-D..

buying just AF-S lens is just fine to me so long as you buy within your means...don't give in to the BBB virus.
