Which model?
I had two cameras, Nikon P900 and Nikon D5200. I have sold both of them. I am looking for a new one (D-SLR) which will cover the purpose of my previous cameras and also will be a little bit upgraded and cheaper too. So please suggest me. I am an amateur photographer.

Since you were using a P900 (252000mm equivalent zoom lens), I assume that your priority is photographing distant subjects, like birds or wildlife. If that is so, why did you sell the P900? And what is it about the D5200 that made you sell it too? If I were you, I would have kept the D5200 (it has a much larger imaging sensor as compared to that on the P900) and upgraded the lens to something like the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary for extra reach or the Nikon 200-500mm.
In case you want a better camera body, you could consider the Nikon D7200 or the Nikon D7500. Also note that any “upgrade” and “cheaper” don’t go together!
Also understand that a better body/ lens is unlikely to get you better pictures unless you get familiar with the usage of your camera and techniques of photography.
Macro on a budget I am new to photography and love close-ups of insects and other small things. I have a Canon 1300D with its 18-55mm kit lens. Currently I am unable to afford a macro lens. A friend told me that a special ring is available which can let me use my kit lens in reverse. Is this true and where can I get such a ring?

Your friend was referring to what is known as a ‘lens reversal ring’. One side of this ring has the body compatible mount and the other side has a thread for attaching the lens in reverse. You first attach the ring to the camera body and then attach the lens in reverse. With this done, you can focus very close.
