Hi, i haven't owned a dslr yet, but i have taken good pics in mobile phone when i was studying and i was drifted away in work for 3 years, i need to buy a dslr now. I have used my friend's Nikon 3200. It has good ergonomics. But many say canon is good. I will put my needs first and you could tell me what to get,
I need to get different pics, learn about the lighting, aperture, iso.
whereas in Nikon i felt all pics were in same bright lighting, but in canon i noticed some different like the exact light what my eyes see i can get it in picture.
please tell me is that true or its my wrong notice.
next one,
i like to take pics on the move, either i move or the subject move.
and finally,
what makes really those two different, nikon and canon?
i'm, a beginner, wanting to take different beautiful pictures, armature, but i'm planning on doing high in photography, not just taking picture. But at the start i need more fun in photos than learning, so that i couldn't get bored.

I didn't know if i put the correct words. But this is me.

Thoughts:

All dSLR's are basically the same - all brands and all models. All of them are good. You will get the same picture no matter what brand or model you get as long as you know exactly what you are doing. This also means that looking at pictures taken by others is useless. There's no guarantee you will get the same results if you get the same camera.

With all dSLR's, you only see what the camera sees through the lens. How the picture will actually come out is another thing. It takes a great amount of skill to be able to adjust the camera properly to produce a picture the way you conceptualized it. In essence, cameras do not capture exactly the way our eyes see it.

That goes for all brands and models although admittedly, more expensive ones make the shooting experience easier if you know exactly what you are doing.

Ergonomics is best executed in the Sony alpha models. They come with good looks too.

You already have experience somewhat with Nikon. You have an idea now on what to look for in dSLR's. Would that mean I wouldn't be able to tempt you with a weatherproof, dustproof and waterproof brown and black dSLR like this?

Its nice to know that somebody is in the same place that I was in about some years ago. Its a beautiful phase to be in. The phase of just getting into photography. I'm happy for you.

Now, Coming to your question about going for a DSLR, you need to first understand why is it that you need to go for a DSLR. You need a DSLR when, you have completely used up all the features that your Point & Shoot camera has to offer. You need to go for a DSLR when you feel that you would like to have more control on how the image is going to turn out. This is where all Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed and White Balance comes into play

If you feel you are ready to go for a DSLR, then I say, GO FOR IT!
Coming to your next question about which is better CANON or NIKON, As I always like to say, the difference between a CANON and a NIKON are the first three letters.

Having said that, both have awesome image capturing capabilities. But there are other factors that you need to consider, Like, the cost of lenses later on, Because trust me! You will definitely be upgrading your lenses sooner than you know! Because., Some camera's come with inbuilt motor and some come without. If you bought a camera with an inbuilt motor ( initial investment is high here, then you can save a lot of money by going for a lens without motor ( The difference of price between the same lens having motor and no motor is close to 50% ., so you might wanna think about that ). I'm only telling about this point because you said you are a beginner… If not., I would have spoken about many other things which might bore you.
