I should have asked this in the correct format the first time. I am getting conflicting stories in regards to the compatibility of older SIGMA 35 mm camera lenses and flashes with the newer DSLR cameras. Does anyone know of any newer DSLR cameras that ARE compatible with 35mm SIGMA lenses/flashes that are NOT SIGMA cameras? I.E. Canon or Sony/Minolta, etc. I don't want to sell my lenses if I can use them but am having troubles finding out WHAT camera to buy that is compatible with them if any. If it is helpful, these are the following lensesand flash I do have:
SIGMA EF 430 Flash
SIGMA Aspherical IF 28-105mm
SIGMA Aspherical 28-80 mm
SIGMA High Speed Pro Spec Zoom AF 28-70mm
Answer
It depends.
All dSLR's but Sony use an ISO standard hot shoe
Only Sigma dSLR's are compatible with Sigma lenses designed to fit Sigma cameras
Canon dSLR's hot shoes can only tolerate 6v or less trigger voltages without damage to the cameras electronics.
As you can see, there are some issues.
If you don't mind buying the Sigma dSLR, then all is well.
If you want to start a dSLR system, you will have to start over buying new lenses that fit Nikon, Canon, Pentax or Sony systems.
If that is what you decide to do, take your time before you buy a new system.
You will either be married to it for the next few decades or find yourself in the same boat, buying all new lenses and cameras if you decide to switch systems.

Are lenses on Nikon DSLR cameras interchangeable?

I've been looking at a bunch of different Nikon lenses and am wondering if they are all interchangeable? Amazon has certain lenses suggested for certain cameras, but then with other cameras they aren't suggested. Will this lens:

which is suggested for the D90, work on my D3000? All the lenses I'm looking at are new on Amazon, so I'm talking new lens to new lens comparison...
Answer
Yes, they are interchangeable. Such is the problem with Nikon. They have some cameras that do not autofocus certain lens models. Check out this page for reference.
