Photographers, which is better, Nikon or Canon?

I know the Canon 5D mark III is supposed to be the best camera out there and the Nikon D800 almost matches it, but I don't have 3000 dollars to spend.

So on a smaller, scale say 600-700 dollars,
would you say that the Nikon d3500 or the Canon T3 is better?
I like the 7- 9-blade diaphragm that Nikon offers opposed to the 6- 8- of Canon. But I hear that Nikon has too much magenta in their resolutions or too much yellow in the LCD.

Which has more aperture versatility and accurate shutter speed?

For outdoor/landscape, night, and long exposure photography, and natural looking portraits, which brand is better?

Any recommendations for models by each brand? Like, is it really worth it to get the T3i for such and such more dollars instead of the T3?

Thanks

Nikon DSLR cameras is there a manufacter seal?

I bought a brand new expensive Nikon DSLR camera today. But the big box had no protective seal.
The contents inside was wrapped in transparent small bags, open cardboard and open wrapping, but again these were not sealed.

Seems a bit odd to me as other expensive electricals half this price are always boxed/wrapped up in sealed packaging.

Just wandering is this normal for Nikon to sell brand new DSLR cameras without any protective seal?

White balance on NikonD40?

I have a friend who has a Nikon D40. He is trying to take pictures of his reef aquarium, but everything is coming out really blue! I've looked into this, and it seems like the problem is that he needs to adjust his "white balance," but I'm having trouble explaining it to him without being there. He tried to adjust his white balance by taping a piece of paper to the aquarium and taking a picture, and it was saying, "not enough light." What can I do to help him with this problem?

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Can't find exposure meter Nikon D600?

I can't figure out how to make the exposure meter for my Nikon D600 appear in the viewfinder, I've located it on other cameras but this is the only Nikon I have used, sorry if this is a stupid question it's just annoying cause it would help avoid exposure issues with my shots.

What kind of camera should I look at buying?

Hi everyone, I'm getting quite a bit into photography and I'm really wanting to upgrade to a better quality camera.At the moment I just have a small digital camera by Canon, which does the job but I am a bit limited as to what I can do with it because it's a camera more for somebody who just wanted something to snap some shots for memory's sake.So anyway I wanted to know which is better - Nikon or Canon, and generally what kind of a camera would be versatile, good quality, reasonable price and suitable for a beginner.

Nikon D5100 - Have i made the right choice?

HI all after a long research in nikon & canon websites and thanks a lot to dpreview & kenrockwell i have narrowed down to Nikon D5100 ( though D5200 has some advanced feature its out of my budget) along with Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens & AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. I am just a beginner and trying to learn the DSLR so am not that much into corner sharpness and all those technical stuffs all i need is a decent zoom with few special effects and image quality so guys do you think i have made the right choice or should i spend some more money to get D5200? Pls help
Added (1). Thank you for the response, what about the lens shall i stick with Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens?

Essential/Helpful DSLR accesories for a beginner?

I am finally buying my first DSLR, and I am curious as to which accessories are most essential, what they are, what I absolutely need in order to shoot, and what's down the road.

I'm looking for any info--links to blog posts, a product on amazon, anything. Or just your opinion on what I need. I have absolutely nothing except photoshop, my Nikon d3100, and the kit lens 18-55mm it came with.

Thanks!

Best nikon SLR compare to canon 650d?

I had a plan to buy canon slr 650d. But when i start comparing it with nikon had very good models with the same price,

i am actually so confused which one to choose?

But as per my knowledge Nikon is only Camera's product based company, but in recent times their products were not so popular, no idea why? , But in canon case, they have 550d, 60d, 650d, 5d mark2, these became so popular, (though i do not like touch screen )

Finally, i need SLR only for photography, not for videos or somether stuff, I can spend few more bucks to choose best one comparing to canon 650d-
