I played online slots and I kept winning money! Is it that easy to win money in the real slot machines? It seems easy to win money in gambling, doesn't it?

I think a 5DIII fits your needs!

:p

What made you eliminate Canon not knowing anything about DSLR's?

I am new to photography and I like to shoot stuff close (autofocus) and shoot objects with low shutter speeds

Autofocus has nothing to do with shooting close - that is macro photography - which is lens dependent not camera/make.

Gear Canon 5DIII + Fuji X-T2 + lenses + a plastic widget I found in the camera box.

I am going to take a guess and assume (yeah I know) to you Nikon and Canon names are interchangeable. Determine what you want to do with your camera and check out each brand and what their claim to fame is. You don't indicate where you are located but I'd suggest you visit the closest magazine sales and pick up a few photography oriented mags and read them to get an idea of what you want to have


Canon 60D,18-55mm,55-250mm,50mm compact macro, AF ext tubes. Sigma 8-16mm uwa, 18-250mm, 85mm F1.4, 150-500mm

I am looking for a nikon dslr but I don't know which camera is best for me.

Is a dslr camera with an autofocus motor better? If so which one is the best?

There are too many factors in your question for us to answer best. What does shoot stuff close mean? How close? If you mean headshots of people, then autofocus is fine, but if you mean macro, then you need to focus manually. Low shutter speeds without a tripod require lenses with Image Stabilization (Canon) or Vibration Reduction (Nikon). If you'll be shooting in low light and want to use high ISO, then a mid-grade and up camera body is better.

A camera body doesn't have autofocus. The focusing system is better in more expensive cameras, but the lens is what focuses.

Are you sure you are in the right forum...??? :) I know little about Nikon. All I can say is that the best one is the one you can afford......don't forget lenses. They aren't cheap if you want good, sharp lenses.

Why are you asking a Canon forum what Nikon to buy?

Welcome to POTN. I use both Nikon and Canon, they're both very good. I using Nikon a lot more these days, I'm trying to get comfortable with it. I can't advise you on what to buy based on the little bit of info I have. For your slow shutter speed photos you might want to peruse the various tripod threads here, you'll need a sturdy tripod.
How much are you looking to spend?
