Anyone annoyed that the Nikon D5100 camera will NOT autofocus with some Nikon lenses?

I replaced my old Fuji DSLR camera, which accepts Nikon lenses.   And now I have a Nikon D5100 camera, which seems like a good enough camera, except that it won't do autofocus with the two Nikon de-focus image control lenses which I own!  Why the hell not?

Well, answering "why" might be a waste time.

So ... which relatively new Nikon DX cameras of a similar megapixel rating actually ARE capable of autofucusing with those two lenses I mentioned up above?   I've been seriously considering the Nikon D7000 camera.   So are those two cameras similar in most ways, including image quality?  With the exception that I HOPE the D7000 can actually do autofocus with those lenses I mentioned up above?    Any help sure would be appreciated!
