a few others were good showing the pros and cons of each.
on the one side by side video, it looked like the Cannon had better picture..but the D3200 had executed some features better.
From what I gather, it's probably a wash either way for a Noob; both had pros and cons, but as a Noob I doubt I would notice either.

One thing that Canon has in its favor is video capability. If you have any intention of dabbling in videography, Canon is ahead of Nikon in that area. Nikon's D5xxx series was geared to compete with Canon's T3i and T4i, and at this particular price point, Canon is a better choice.
If you're sticking with traditional photography, I'd go with the Nikon D3200 for entry-level or the D7xxx series if you're willing to stretch your budget for something that you can grow into. I've played with the Canon 60d, which is essentially a step between the T4i and the Nikon D7xxx series in terms of market strategy, and I preferred the Nikon.
