I'm currently shooting with a Nikon D3300, I got a few lenses for it and I'm very familiar with the camera.
My issue is that I have a few good lenses for my camera, but they have no motors on the inside of them. So I have to manually focus. It works on my friends D7200 (due to it having a built in motor).
All the areas around me that sell good lenses all sell either extremely cheap canon lenses or sell great nikon lenses that require a body motor.
So, should I get a canon (since i can use my nikon lenses on it) and buy more lenses, or should i save up and get a better body so i can buy better lenses with the added ability to actually use af.
Note: I know i can just manually focus, i do, but my issue is 1. I hate it. 2. I'm usually shit at it. 3. Im lazy 4. If im shooting a low-key subject in the studio its hard to get the focus correct.

Should you read the sticky? Or should you use the /gear/ thread?

Just get a 2nd hand d7000/d7100/d5x00
The difference in iq is negligible between older and new nikon bodies, but canons iq is significantly worse.

I didn't think d5x00 models had motors in the body?

>canons iq is significantly worse
How's that?

HOW ABOUT YOU USE THE GODDAMN FUCKING GEAR THREAD???

>significantly worse.

Go cry somewhere else.

if you really want to use motorless nikkors, save for a full frame nikon body. it's heavier though.
>>2986574
you know you dont have to use a gear thread? the sticky even says that they realise its necessary. stop your screaming ffs. also i think ill save up and get a 7100/7200. Also i think ill buy a canon eos m mirrorless just to fuck about with the canon lenses on the cheap :)

look for a d90 or d7000, second hand. Shouldn't cost more than 350 and 450 € $
Both are better than the 3300 and have motor.
>>2986637
Get a D300s if you're going to get something as old as a D90. About the same price, vastly better camera for AF, AF speed, ergo, build, etc.
