Should I start with Canon or Nikon?

I'm going to be buying my first camera pretty soon here, and I need to decide if I want to buy Canon or Nikon. I think I'm more of a stills guy, which is why I'm leaning towards Nikon (because of their better sensors), but video is something I want to try and could maybe get really into, so I'd want to go with Canon (because of their better video features like dual pixel AF) if that happened. I want to figure out what brand to get now because from what I've heard switching is a difficult and expensive decision.
Added (1). Another reason I'm leaning toward Nikon is the easier "upgrade system." Nikon has clear paths you can take. For me, I plan to get a D3400, then a D7500, then a D750, then a D850 (photography is just a hobby right now, I don't need a D5). With Canon I feel lost.

Photography] Just switched to Nikon and having trouble understanding my D810?

I just got a Nikon D810 and new Nikon 85mm f/1.8 G. I noticed that every time I use it to photography something very close, the focus isn't working. However, when I'm shooting far (1 meter away), it focuses perfectly.

Can anybody help me explain this?

Thank you.

Nikon D3400 Snapbridge reconnect issue?

Hi. I have a Nikon D3400 and the snapbridge iphone pairing works fine the first time I connect my camera to my phone with the snapbridge app. My issue is that lets say I connect my phone to my camera via the snapbridge app the first time and then maybe a few days or weeks later I decide to turn on bluetooth on the camera, and on my iPhone, go into the app to connect them with bluetooth, but the two can't connect. If I go into bluetooth settings on my iphone and see the camera come up and press it while bluetooth is on on the camera, it loads for a minute and says connection unsuccessful. The only fix I have found to this is to forget the camera on the Snapbridge app and on my bluetooth settings, unlink the phone from the cameras bluetooth settings and completely re-pair the devices, which takes a few minutes. My final question is, is there any fix to not needing to completely re-pair the devices, and instead just go on the snapbridge app and have the camera and app reconnect/link and work at any given time? Thanks, and sorry if this doesn't fully make sense as it is a little difficult to explain.

Beginner SLR lens question?

I have decided to buy a Nikon D3200 as my first camera for vlogging. I plan to go to New York and I want to film during early mornings and late nights where it will range from dark(store/street lights)-almost completely dark. Does anyone know if there are cheap video stabilized wide angle lenses with apertures 2.8 or below? Will I have to use a portable light? Will that portable light cancel out the necessity of a low aperture?

I need a microphone recommendation?

I'm looking for a microphone that is a good balance for use with my DSLR (Nikon D7200) as well as with my computer for vocal audio recording. I would like to spend less than $200, but am open to suggestions. TIA!

Is it ok to leave a professional camera in a hot car?

The reason I'm asking is because I have plans to go out with my friends next month and I wanna bring my Nikon. We're going out to lunch and getting our nails done then afterwards we'll have a photoshoot. In May it usually starts to get hot so I was wondering its ok to leave it in the car for a few hours since I don't wanna bring it into the restaurant or nail salon. (I'll hide it of course so it won't be visible from the outside). Leaving it at home and going back to get it isn't an option since we won't be in the area
