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

Yes they do. It's largely a matter of price. Of course Nikon sells more $500 cameras than they do $1000 or $5000 cameras, how could it be otherwise? Sales numbers are not a good indication of the completeness of their system. As suggested above in the Canon reference, sometimes these companies can pull some pretty sleazy stunts and manage to profit from it. It's a matter of fact that most of the time when a corporation makes a decision it is usually profit motivated, is it not? In this case, Nikon saw some strategic move that was not necessarily in the public interest but would be more profitable for them. Simple. Their interests before ours. I understand their motivation, what I don't understand is the motivation of the sheep on this board who take it with a smile on their face. Just because you happen to buy a product made by some corporation doesn't mean you have to fall unconditionally in love with that brand. Many on this board sound like the hordes (this is for you Riley) of bleating Apple fans.
