Which of these cameras is better?

Canon T1i or Nikon D3200?

[DragonRoco]

Since the T1i was released in 2009 it is a fair few years older than the D3200. If you have some old film Nikon camera lenses the lenses could work on the D3200 (without autofocus and appature control). Here is a comparason website: http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS_Rebel_T1i-vs-Nikon-D3200

For your price range the D3200 is a slightly better camera. I however haven't used any Nikon camera and only a few Canon DSLRs so take my advice with a grain of salt. Nothing is better than your own research.
