Are DSLR Camera Lenses Universal?

I recently purchased a NikonD3200 DSLR and I wanted to get a low-aperture lens (e.g. F/1.4) and I saw that Canon have some pretty good lenses with low apertures. So I was wondering whether a lens such as a Canon one would work on my Nikon or are lenses made only for the cameras of the same brand?

Beginner camera for a young teen?

im really interested in photography but do not have a camera. I've been researching a bit and I've heard most people prefer Nikon over Canon, so I would probably get one of those. Any suggestions on a fairly nice camera for a beginning photographer? (preferably less than $500)

Is the Nikon D3200 better than my old Nikon D40x?

I still love my D40x and get nice photos from it, but it is 9 years old and I'm wondering how it compares to the 3200 or around that price range… Not sure if I should upgrade… I'm looking at a nice black friday deal on a D3200. I shoot at professional levels with the D40x, engagement shoots, newborn shoots, modeling tests, etc. I'd like to shoot for magazines some day, so should I just wait and save up for something like the 750? I don't want to waste money, I just really LOVE photography, it's like breathing for me, and it excites me. I'm going through chemo right now so shooting professionally again is going to be a while. I did the engagement shoots and newborn shoots etc during college. Then I got sick… I'm hoping to aim for my dream and step it up once I get better, but that'll be about a year from now, most likely.

So… Thoughts?

Will old 35mm lenses fit new DSLR cameras?

I'm sure this is a question that has been asked many many times, but I didn't see my specific camera/lenses and wanted to get some opinions.

I have an old 35 mm Minolta Maxxum 5000i with 2 lenses

Sigma DL zoom 35-80mm

Sigma 70-300mm

I am still a camera novice but want to get a decent entry-level camera (Nikon?). I would like to know if these lenses would be compatible/be able to use them with a DSLR camera. Are there certain brands that are compatible and others that aren't? What options do I have if they aren't?

I understand that ideally I would like to get new lenses, but since I have these already, I would like to know their compatibility.

Also, if you have any recommendations for an entry level $500 - 600 camera, please let me know. My brain hurts from looking at all the options. If there's been a recent upgrade, and the older model is still a great option and maybe even a little cheaper, that would be great.

Thanks for any suggestions. Any help is appreciated.

Canon rebel t3 or t3i for a beginner?

I want to buy a DSLR camera but I don't know which one to get. I heard that Canon is better than Nikon so I narrowed it down to either the rebel t3 or the t3i. I'm mostly going to be taking pictures, not videos. Does one camera have better picture quality or are they pretty much the same? Is the t3i worth the extra money?
