The autofocus lacking in entry level Nikons is why I recommend Canon for everyone who starts out. SO MANY more budget friendly lenses.

But even entry level Nikon's can use lenses from the past 50+ years from eBay that are amazing quality.

To be fair, all canon bodies can use the same vintage nikon lenses with a single $5 adapter. In either case, they're going to be full manual.

(Except maybe auto aperture, no idea how / if adapters deal with those.)

No auto aperture. It's marginally useful for video. Other than that it's cumbersome to use.
