How does it focus a manual len's . The d90 is one of the few that will focus lenses with out a built in motor though

Read my reply again. I never said it would focus manual focus lenses. Just that it would meter & shoot with them. The D90 has a built in focus motor & as such, it will focus any Nikon mount AF lens. The D50, D70/s, D80, D90 & up DX format DSLR's all have a built in screw drive focus motor. The D40/x, D60, D3xxx & D5xxx DSLR's require lenses with focus motors in them as they have no built in motor in the body.

I have my D90 and my 7200 and really like both of them. I'll keep my D90 till it dies. Still a great camera. On the other hand I still have my FE-2..!

I have kept my D90 as my back-up camera. I suggest that you do the same, and look at either a new D7200 or a D7100 (with significant price drop). Here is a side-by-side comparison, with differences in darker blue boxes: http://photographylife.com/nikon-d7200-vs-d7100 Also, Refurbished camera bodies will be more affordable, and just as dependable as "new-in-box".
When comparing apples to apples, or in this case, Nikons to Nikons, I also like to pull up the Nikon specifications and see what is the real difference between the two cameras.
