Dumb question about digital cameras

I've been looking for info on this a bit, and I should look some more, but thought I would take the easy way out and ask here.

I want to get a better digital camera than the Canon A70 I use now. I used to use a Nikon FG a while back, but the film winding mechanism broke and I was told it would cost more than it is worth to get it fixed.

I need to know if any of the new Nikon digital SLR cameras will accept the lenses that fit on my FG. They are non-auto focus lenses. I am not interested in an auto focus camera, they tend to be very slow when it comes to taking shots of moving subjects. Thanks.

Have a look here.

Looks like the digital SLRs all take the Nikkor AF / F-mount, D-Type lenses.
 
If you do get a Nikon digital SLR, any of the F-mount lenses will be usable with it.

Unfortunately, the older they get the fewer of the fancy features built into the camera you will be able to use.

With the non-CPU lenses, not even the meter will work, you you will need either a handheld meter or guess and use the LCD.

The newer the lens, the more features will be usable.
