Nikon SLR Cameras

Differences on the menu and screen options of Nikon D3100 and Canon T1i?

I'm between these 2 cameras and was wondering what the differences were between the two when it comes to the menu options. Some things I'm thinking about are in camera editing and choices on color and other settings.
This will be my first camera and I want all the options possible to give me the most options to learn with.

Added (1). You are right, I don't know anything about photography and cameras but I'm interested in learning and I need to start somewhere right? Thanks for the help and I will keep doing research and learning. I'm just starting out so you can't expect me to be a pro at it!

First, don't pick a camera based on the number of options it has. The three options you should stick with are ISO, shutter speed, and Aperture control. Always shoot in the largest and finest quality jpeg setting, and set it there. Do all post processing in a program such as gimp, photoshop, or some less powerful program such as paint.net

Don't do anything, or rarely do something in your camera.

pick which one feels better in your hand- which one feels the best to you and is the easiest for you to use

You have lots to learn about dslr cameras.

First these cameras are not gimmicks and not loaded with options. These are serious cameras for serious photographers who know what they're doing with them. People who understand the relationship between ISO, aperture, shutter speed and light. People who, at least most of the time,
shoot in full manual setting each control to suit that particular lighting situation.

If you don't know these things and apparently you don't, get some training. Because if you plan to run this camera on full automatic all the time you are waisting your money. Buy a point and shoot gimmick.

All dSLRs are basically the same. They all offer controls for aperture size, shutter speed, ISO, White Balance and EV. Anything more than that is just an added feature that can be ignored. If you are concerned with in-camera editing and color settings, you might as well get a point-and-shoot.
