Should I Swap To Canon? Or should I Upgrade To A Better Body?

I'm currently shooting with a Nikon D3300, I got a few lenses for it and I'm very familiar with the camera.

My issue is that I have a few good lenses for my camera, but they have no motors on the inside of them. So I have to manually focus. It works on my friends D7200 (due to it having a built in motor).

All the areas around me that sell good lenses all sell either extremely cheap canon lenses or sell great nikon lenses that require a body motor.

So, should I get a canon (since i can use my nikon lenses on it) and buy more lenses, or should i save up and get a better body so i can buy better lenses with the added ability to actually use af.

Note: I know i can just manually focus, i do, but my issue is 1. I hate it. 2. I'm usually shit at it. 3. Im lazy 4. If im shooting a low-key subject in the studio its hard to get the focus correct.

Should you read the sticky? Or should you use the /gear/ thread?

Just get a 2nd hand d7000/d7100/d5x00
The difference in iq is negligible between older and new nikon bodies, but canons iq is significantly worse.

>>2986519
I didn't think d5x00 models had motors in the body?

>>2986517
if you really want to use motorless nikkors, save for a full frame nikon body. it's heavier though.

USE THE GODDAMN GEAR THREADS!!!
>>
>>2986574
you know you dont have to use a gear thread? the sticky even says that they realise its necessary. stop your screaming ffs. also i think ill save up and get a 7100/7200. Also i think ill buy a canon eos m mirrorless just to fuck about with the canon lenses on the cheap :)

>>2986517
look for a d90 or d7000, second hand. Shouldn't cost more than 350 and 450 € $

Both are better than the 3300 and have motor.
>>
>>2986637
Get a D300s if you're going to get something as old as a D90. About the same price, vastly better camera for AF, AF speed, ergo, build, etc.

The latest canon crop sensor still doesn't even measure up to the 16mp sony sensor from 2011. They a joke.

>>2986576
A new sony mirrorless and sigma mc11 is a better choice for fucking around with canon lenses.
