DSLR Question

[DENIM_CHICKEN]

So I have some old nikon lenses that I found out only work on the D7000 and up. I would go for the D7000 but it doesn't have 60FPS video. The D7100 has 60FPS but it is a little too expensive for my price range. Is there a way to have 60 FPS on the 7000 / really cheap D7100's out there? +k for helpful answers

They still work and will meter, they just wont Autofocus... which if you're only concerned about video, then that's a non-issue.

Yeah what lenses are they? I'll tell you from experience that working with non AF lenses can really suck, but it depends on what. Wider angle primes, and it doesn't matter too much, but 50mm or higher, I can tell you that having AF makes you life sooooo much better because it's hard to get the focus just right when shooting at f2.8 or wider on longer lenses due to the stupidly short DOF. The AF can just lock it right in when sometimes you question whether or not you got the shot handheld.
