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!

Not "annoyed" in the least.  I knew all about this going in.  Didn't you?
