I'm in the market for a DSLR. The requirements are:

Must haves:
- Full frame (35mm) sensor
- Accepts Nikon MF lenses, as old as AIS
- Viewfinder brightness, focusing screen, focus confirmation light, all suitable for manual focus
- Easy to use in manual exposure mode, don't want to peck through menus to change shutter speed
- Decent low light performance, taking about the sensor

Nice to haves:
- Light and compact, relatively anyway
- Video capable

Don't much care
- Latest and best AF capability
- Latest and best AE
- Big picture files


Nikon has introduced a plethora of models since I last checked, so I'm confused. One of my friends uses a Sony mirrorless with an affair for Nikon and Leica lenses and loves it. I'm not at all averse to an older or used model.
