I currently use a Nikon D3000 and have several autofocus Nikon F-mount lenses. I’d like to upgrade to a newer Nikon body that supports SnapBridge, while still letting me use my existing autofocus lenses.
Which Nikon bodies offer both SnapBridge and compatibility with autofocus F-mount lenses? Also, if I use DX lenses on an FX body, what happens?

The following Nikon cameras support SnapBridge:
Camera Mount FX/DX Z 9 Z FX Z 8 Z FX Z 7II Z FX Z 7 Z FX Z 6II Z FX Z 6 Z FX Z 5 Z FX Z f Z FX Z fc Z DX Z 50 Z DX Z 30 Z DX D6 F FX D850 F FX D780 F FX D500 F FX D7500 F FX D5600 F FX D3500 F FX D3400 F FXAll of the F-mount bodies (D6–D3400) will support the lenses you currently have without any problem. Your lenses (assuming they're DX lenses) can be used on the F-mount FX bodies (D6-D780), but will use the center 44% of the camera's sensor, because DX lenses (so-called 'crop lenses') project a smaller image circle than full-frame (FX) lenses. These FX bodies will automatically detect DX lenses and save appropriately cropped images; there's nothing you have to do when mounting the lenses, or in post-processing).
All of the Z cameras use the Nikon Z-mount. You need to use the Nikon F to Z adapter to use your existing lenses on a Z-mount camera. The same FX/DX considerations apply when using your lenses on a Z camera + F-to-Z adapter.

Yes—if you want to keep using your existing Nikon F-mount autofocus lenses without an adapter, look at Nikon’s newer F-mount DSLRs that support SnapBridge. From the answers provided, those include: D3400, D3500, D5600, D7500, D780, D850, D500, and D6.
These F-mount bodies will work with your current F-mount autofocus lenses. If your lenses are DX lenses, they will also mount on FX bodies such as the D780, D850, and D6, but the camera will crop to the smaller DX image area automatically. That means you’ll use only the center portion of the full-frame sensor.
If you want the simplest upgrade from a D3000 while keeping full compatibility with your lenses, a SnapBridge-enabled F-mount DSLR is the most straightforward choice. Z-series cameras also support SnapBridge, but they use the Nikon Z mount rather than F mount, so they are not the direct body style match for your current lenses.
