Verdict
Pick the Canon EOS 50D if you prioritize faster burst shooting (6.3 fps) and a lower price (82 EUR), especially for action or sports photography. The Nikon D3200 stays the better choice if you need higher resolution (24.2 MP) or Full HD video recording, and are willing to pay the extra 65 EUR. Neither offers in-body stabilization, so lens choice will matter equally for both.
