Are they a special edition? One of them was the last DSLR camera available (the one you go and try before buying) and it has a great discount. Should I buy it? Is it any good like the one that's "out of the box"?
Answer
The models on display are exactly like the ones you buy. Before you consider the discount, look at how the camera's been handled. If the lens had been removed, and people have had access to the insides of the camera body - skip it. It doesn't take much to damage the mirror or sensor of a DSLR. Check to see if the pop-up flash works, as I've seen many demo ones with the flash broken. Some stores destroy the boxes and don't keep the cables/manuals/accessories of their display models. This could be a dealbreaker. Also, be sure the camera can be reset to factory settings, as curious hands have touched everything.

How to chose the best dslr camera?
Ryan
I am looking for a nikon dslr but I don't know which camera is best for me.
I am new to photography and I like to shoot stuff close (autofocus) and shoot objects with low shutter speeds
Is a dslr camera with an autofocus motor better? If so which one is the best?
Answer
Any of the entry level DSLR's would be fine. Canon or Nikon are both good - it depends on your preferences, or perhaps if someone you know owns the same brand.
The lenses are much more important, because they will stay with you even when you upgrade to a new camera body, so make sure to buy the best you possibly can when it comes to lens shopping - you WILL regret buying slow lenses.
Canon tends to be a little cheaper and have a bit more choice, including on the second hand market.
Pick a favorite few cameras, compare them on www.dpreview.com, then play with them in a store...... handling them might help you decide which one to get.
The very best thing you can do for your photography, is to attend a class and read a few books and tutorials. Having some knowledge will make a huge difference to your images.
I hope I have expressed this idea clearly enough: YOU need to learn about photography because even the world's best camera will take lousy shots in the hands of someone who has no clue how to use it.
It sounds like you need to start that learning process BEFORE you even go shopping. Don't spend money until you understand all the terms and concepts properly - you'll just end up disappointed with your choices later.
