It doesn’t focus …
It doesn’t focus from with in the camera. You need a lens with auto focus. Any mention of it doing so is referring to the kit lens. Not a biggy though as i’m getting one with a Sigma 18-250 with built in auto focus.

A serious con for …
A serious con for not having a motor is that you have to use DX lenses to get auto focus. When you eventually upgrade camera bodies, to eventually having a full frame digital, your DX lenses will not cover the full frame sensor. Better to buy a came that has a motor, such as d50, d80, d90, d200, d300 etc. so you can use non DX lenses. cheers.

I purchased this camera with the black fri package for $849. It came wiht the extra zoom lens. I dont know a whole lot about dslr’s but several friends did and told me this was a great buy. We purchased it and are completely well satisfied. My brother in law whom knows alot about camera’s helped us pick it out. He was overly impressed by the picture. We get lots of comments on them. Def well worth it.

I highly doubt that. Thats against the law. they cant replace the camera with something not equivalent. and secondly they will replace the camera with the same exact model. If you were smart you would take nikon to court. Even if it is small claims court you will get your camera back. Ive had 7 Nikons and never any of these problems you speak of. And my uncle was a professional photographer and used nothing but nikon and again never any problems with nikon.
