The nice thing about Nikon is that for the most part, all the lenses fit/work on all the cameras (there are a few exceptions with really old F lenses). I can take any of my old lenses and they'll work just fine on the newest cameras...
Yep, that's the main reason there is such a dichotomy between the brands. People choose a brand and choose it early because the lenses and other hardware sure ain't cheap!
