LOL, I wasn't trying to sell you on the camera I bought. I seriously looked at the 750 too. I didn't want to drop that much money though since I knew I was going to get 2, switching one to IR. When I decided to get into digital, I picked up a 3200, a bottom of the line camera. It just didn't do what I wanted and I think with your experience, going low end will be disappointing. I think all the Nikons will take a manual AI'd lens. I just didn't want you to think you were limited to the DF.
