well that would be the worst thing that would happen

with a mount, you lost the auto focus ( but for semi-pro work you'd not want it anyway. )
There are lens adapters, you just have to look

Sorry. I'm all over.

yeah. If you can't bring yourself to throw away your lenses and get a Sony then get the best Nikon you can afford and get an AF ring adapter.

best way to get

the best for your cash.
I have an old Sony that cost me the best part of £1000 and I'd be loathe to part with it because it is still superb. Would you really turn your nose up if you could buy it for £200? ( that Nikon fella told me he'd offer me more if I was selling. )

(fuck, I miss that lad )

depends

If you have decent nikon lenses already, get the most expensive nikon D body you can. Lens adapters generally suck and you lose functionality as well as them changing the focal length of the lens. I've used nikon for 15+ years and think they are excellent cameras/lenses

he has Canon lenses

that he wants to use.

I'd just ebay them.
