Advice on a good DSLR (nikon or canon ONLY)in the range of $720?

I was thinking of the Nikon d5600 but it went out of stock and now i'm looking for another one

You need to pay $26 more:

Same situation with Canon T6i - the only real equal if you rule out other types.

Keep looking for the Nikon D5600… It's the top of the line in mid-range cameras, and worth every penny; it IS the most popular mid-range because it mimics more expensive, more sophisticated cameras. You'll want to keep this camera for many years! Check with B&H (NYC); I read last night that a huge shipment of Nikon D5600 cameras had arrived in the USA… Don't give up.

I don't know where you learned about photography - but - nobody can answer this question without you adding decent details.

See, in the world of photography camera bodies come and go… But you live and die by your lens collection. Nikon and Nikor lenses are great for indoors, weddings, and portraits. Down side to Nikon - the lens selection for outdoor, landscape, wildlife is non-existent. Canon makes the best lenses for outdoor work - they make allot of cool affordable image stabilized zoom lenses along with professional zoom lenses $1200 to $8000. The Canon 50mm macro is as good as the Nikon macro - but - The Conon 100mm macro is totally awesome… But Nikon does not make a 100mm. And that 100mm Canon macro also makes an awesome portrait lens.

Me, I have both. It's confusing because all the dials work opposite each other on the two platforms. I use a Nikon body for weddings, portraits and passport photos. I live in Alaska - and that Nikon is totally useless here - I have the Canon for wildlife, Ice Art, and Aurora/Northern Lights. Both bodies are only spec'd to 32F. The non plastic body D series 60D 70D etc work fine at -45F. The Nikon, is not happy below -5F.

Bottom line. You need to choose wisely. If most of your shots will be outdoors - using a macro to take cool pics of bugs and small things, wide angle, or zoom lens shots… You need the Canon line of lenses. If its a new baby and you want to take tons of pics, or, perhaps get into portraits or weddings - Nikon.

If you're in North America, Both Adorama and B&H Photo have the D5600 in stock.

If you weren't so blinkered, the Pentax K-70 offers little things like weather-sealing, a pentaprism viewfinder with 100% coverage, compatibility with legacy lenses, built-in intervalometer, two control dials, and is the result of decades of continuous development from the oldest SLR manufacturer in Japan.

Having handled both Canon and Nikon DSLRs, I fail to see the attraction.

The D5600 is back in stock, so if your heart was set on it, go for it. I would suggest you compare it with the Canon T6i (EOS 750D). They are equivalent. They biggest difference is the user interface. If you can get your hands to each of them, you can decide which interface you prefer.

All dSLRs are good.

Here's a highly reputable store where the D5600 is still available.
