Figured I'd bring back this thread to ask about the D90. Can you camera experts help me with a decision on this? I've had a nikon 6006 film camera for EVER and it has provided me with years of service and great shots. I eneded up bying a small Sony digital to satisfy the wife and kids for the quick point and shoot moments and to begin the online pic library.

I now want to upgrade and get a nice DSLR and stick with the Nikon family. My dilema, as with many i'm sure in this spot, is my cash out lay with the lens's I own. I'd rather keep using my lens and buy a body instead a DX kit like D60 or D40. As I understand with every Nikon up to the D90 I will not have AF for my older AF lens's. I have 28-200mm 1:3.5-5-6 D, 50mm 1.4 D and a crappy 35-80 mm D that used to travel and bring to the beach etc but I do not use much anymore and will replace with a wider angle lens down the road.

For this I am leaning towards a D90, more $$, but it will take my AF lens. The more I look at this though I am wondering about getting qualy shots with a non IS/VR lens on a DX format camera. Am I right about this or will the internal IS from the D90 be ok with my older AF D lens's??

This is one of my recent fav's from my cheap Sony: Robin's egg blue!;
