The Nikon D,5000X Series Camera began with the D5000, and is now up to the current D5600. All previous models have been discontinued. The D7000X Series began with the D7000, up to the current D7500. All previous models of the D7500 have been discontinued..The D5000X Series cameras were considered advanced entry-level level cameras. The D7000X Series cameras are considered intermediate level cameras. The first D7000 camera had 16 megapixels. The D7100/D,7200 had 24 megapixels, and the D7500 has 20.9 megapixels, the same as the D500. The D5000X Series cameras don't have the internal focus motor, as does the D7000X Series. Also, the D5000X Series have pentamirror viewfinders rather than pentaprism viewfinders. The D5600, 24 megapixels sensor, is the same as the D7200, and the same IQ. With Nikon focusing on mirrorless cameras, both full frame and crop sensor (Z7, Z6,.and Z50). Is this the end of Nikon's crop sensor DSLRs? The current ones are the D3500, D5600, and the D7500. Will the FTZ adapter be a requirement, to use your F mount DX lenses, on future crop sensor mirrorless Z mount cameras?

Mounting ANY DSLR lens on any mirrorless body will require an adaptor, primarily to move that DSLR lens out to proper registration distance from the sensor in order to acquire focus.

Eventually. I suppose it will depend on whether sales justify continued production. I don't think the goal of their business is to lose money.
