It will and does.

I have used that lens on all my DSLR’s from D100 to D3

At this time the most inexpensive DSLR that will use your lenses is the D80, $ 550

The only cameras that cannot use it in the auto-focus mode are the entry level D40(x) and D60 … they use the AF-S 70-300 mm lens.

All of the current Nikon DSLRs except the D40, D40x, D60 are fully compatible (meter and auto-focus) with AF, AF-D lenses from a N4004 including the AF Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4-5.6G lens.

The D40, D40x, D60 cameras meter but do not auto-focus AF and AF-D lenses.
