Best beginner camera? - 1

I always wanted to get into photography and I also want to make some hd videos for my utube channel. What camera do you think would be best for video and photos? Right now i'm looking at the
Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP and the Nikon D3100 14.2MP. What would you recommend around the $500 range?

Can't decide between cameras?

Alright so I have a problem. I've been wanting to upgrade my point and shoot camera for forever, and finally just got the okay to do so with a vacation to Canada coming up and my mom wanting some quality photos. I've done some research, and I think I've narrowed it down to two cameras: the Nikon d3100 and d3200. My problem is that I don't have much DSLR experience, so I don't know which would be more beneficial to me. I found the d3100 for $509 (I've got about $230 in gift cards-birthday and Christmas money for the past two years that I've been saving for this purpose) and it comes with the 18-55 mm lens and the 55-200 mm lens. However, the d3200 for $500 seems to be better quality overall, but only comes with the 18-55 mm lens. I'd use this camera for my upcoming trip to Canada, as well as the photography class I'm starting up next school year, and sport events (equestrian sports and swimming mainly, if it makes a difference)
I just don't know which would be better based on what I would be using the camera for, so any advice from people with DSLR experience would be much appreciated. If I got the d3200 I wouldn't be able to get a second lens for at least another year because I'm spending basically all of my money paying for a trip to Germany to visit a friend.

Flash compensation vs exposure compensation?

My studio test shots came out relatively dark, my settings:

1/125, f/8, ISO200 with Nikon D90, 60mm prime lens, SB-910 speed light.

How do I get brighter result without changing the shutter speed, aperture and ISO?

I wish I have a studio and experience all by myself:(

Your professional advice is greatly appreciated:)

Thanks a million!

Fitting a FZ150 to a telescope?

I'd like to start doing Astrophotography down my Celestron 114eq.
I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ150 and have been taking some photos of space objects, however I'd like to start taking photos down the scope.

Because the lens cannot be taken out of the camera this causes a issue, I see things like this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxsima-extension-Panasonic-DMC-FZ100-conversion/dp/B004W7UBEW/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
and don't know if this is what im looking for.

As far as I understand I need something called a t-adapter, and i'm not sure if that's it. Can someone please run me through all the necessary components to attach a camera to a scope?

(If my camera is not adequate for this I can use my dads nikon, it lets you take the lens out but he may be selling it soon so I'd rather not spend money on something I may not have for long. I also have a webcam, but I'd rather get high quality pictures)
Added (1). Thanks geoffg, that is one way of looking at it I have not considered before. What if I just wanted to use it to take short exposure photography of say, Jupiter?

Best Nikon lens for action shots of horses?

What is the best lens to get for taking action shots of horses mostly in the daytime light and somewhat in lower light? Also with a fairly good zoom, but not MAJORLY expensive.

Right now I have the basic D3100 camera body with a 18-55mm lens. I'm looking to upgrade soon so also what would be a new camera body that would work good for those same specifications but under $1000? Would you stay with a Nikon or go to a Canon, Sigma, etc?
