Amazing low light performance
The Nikon D3200 won’t let you down in the dark: even in low light conditions. You can achieve low noise and precise image results thanks to the D3200’s wide light sensitivity range (100-6400 extendable to 12,800 in Hi 1), allowing you to capture atmospheric shots without using the flash, thus preserving the natural lighting in your pictures.
Stunning image quality
With a resolution of 24.2 megapixels, the Nikon D3200 sets new standards in its class. The combination of a high resolution CMOS image sensor and the extremely powerful EXPEED 3 image processing engine makes it easy to take shots with spectacular detail and high quality tonal reproduction.
Step-by-step instructions for incredible images: Guide Mode
Are you new to D-SLR photography? Guide Mode is very easy to use and helps you navigate camera settings step by step on the large 3-inch, 921,000 pixel screen, so you can achieve the best results from the very beginning. Guide Mode has two levels (beginner and advanced) to suit any skill level. In the beginner section, you can quickly find the right automatic program for any given image situation. The advanced section provides an understanding of imaging parameters such as aperture and shutter speed in an easy and helpful way, giving you the opportunity to have a unique and creative influence over your image results.
Full HD function with up to 30 frames/second
Some moments deserve more than a picture: the video feature allows you to record full HD (1080p) movies at up to 30 frames per second, so you can enjoy special experiences in breath-taking clarity and re-live them over and over again. Among the AF operating modes for video, continuous focus is available.
In Camera Picture Editing
With the high-resolution display, you can edit your images directly inside the camera. Your creativity has no boundaries: give your photo a colour sketch effect or a miniature effect, or choose specific areas of the image to colour. Image adjustments are child's play: for example, you can quickly straighten a tilted image or even lighten up a dark picture. With the Nikon D3200, you can create memorable moments as both photographer and designer at once.
Instantly share images and remotely release the shutter with the WU-1a wireless adaptor (optional)
Share your experiences with friends and family. The optional WU-1a adaptor sends your images securely and wirelessly to a Wi-Fi equipped smart device* such as smartphone or tablet — a quick and easy way to share your images via social networking services (SNS) or e-mail. You can even release the D3200’s shutter from the smart device, as well.

I normally use a Canon 5D mark II but since using the Nikon 3200 with kit lens it is the one I am carrying around more and more. Much lighter to carry yet quality build. Great value for £459 from Amazon. It is extremely well thought out with buttons on the outside to easily access ISO, white balance, exposure compensation etc without having to go through time consuming menu systems. I have used the sports mode one of the many scene modes available. One flick of the wheel, I was taking photographs of a cocker spaniel going at full speed after a ball. I didn't expect the camera to cope but it did and I ended up with very sharp images. I also used Shutter Priority and put the camera on continuous shooting and was very impressed with the speed and quality. I often take landscape photographs and maybe they weren't quite as contrasty as my Canon but soon fixed in Photoshop. However I was very impressed with the detail especially from a kit lens. I was able to shoot in Raw and Jpeg and was surprised that an entry level camera like this one even had spot metering. It even has 11 auto focus points in contrast to my 5D mark II which only has 9! As someone who always has wonky horizons, I found that I could straighten up my image having taken the shot in camera and it was extremely easy to do so. I could also trim my shot in camera to crop out any distracting elements and with 24.2 megapixels, I knew my image would still be of very good quality. I liked the playback system especially when I could playback up to 72 images which showed up on the rear screen like a contact sheet.... Read more ›
Then the D3200 arrived and, for the price, it is awesome. You can cut a small piece out of the centre of a photo and enlarge it and it looks like full frame. That is where this camera comes into its own. With its 24 Megapixel CMOS sensor it leaves everything except the D800 (£2900.00) way behind.
I've heard it said that anything over 12 Megapixels doesn't really matter. Well this camera gives the lie to the statement. It makes a hell of a difference.
It also takes superb 1080p videos and will auto focus while doing so, something the the D90 wouldn't do. Another improvement on the D90 is the fact that it has infra red remote release windows on the back as well as the front. I thought it was a bit silly for the D90 to only have one on the front which is where you are least likely to use it.
A word of warning though. If you already have a Nikon digital camera, then you probably have the Nikon View NX2 software. This camera comes with the latest View NX2 software but do not overwrite the old software. I did and then found that I couldn't open the RAW (NEF) files from the D3200. The way to do it is to uninstall the old software before you install the new. Then it works perfectly.
If you purchase this camera get yourself a big SDHD card as the file sizes are huge. Shooting in RAW (which I always do) you'll get 259 exposures on an 8 Gig card. So my next purchase will be a 32 Gig card. Amazon do a Sandisc Ultra 32 Gig card at £17.77; a very good price.... Read more ›
1) BUILD QUALITY AND FUNCTIONALITY
The camera is assembled in Thailand. Its exterior bodywork looks to be made from a form of reinforced polycarbonate resin; the inner chassis is made of steel. The camera doesn't appear to bend or creak - even with a heavy lens attached - and the various switches and buttons all work positively enough. You will need to take a little extra care when operating the pop-up flash, or when opening and closing the covers to the battery compartment and accessory ports (in other words, with all the usual suspects); but in this respect, the D3200 is no better or worse than many of its rivals. Amateurs/enthusiasts need have no worries about the overall build quality, I believe. As for some of the ancillary bits and pieces...read my later update!
2) THE VIEWFINDER
The D3200 is a smaller camera, overall, than you initially expect it to be. Understandably, then, its mirror, its pentamirror (a cheaper and simpler contraption than the normal pentaprism), and its viewfinder eyepiece, are altogether a little bit more compact than might otherwise be desired - covering only 95% of the sensor's imaging area. On the other hand, the viewfinder does benefit from a degree of built-in dioptric correction: a godsend for those of us with less than perfect sight! As a visual aid to composition, the viewfinder image is perfectly acceptable with the F2.8 lens that I use (more later); but I suspect that - on dull days, with a slower lens - the image directed to the eye might well become a little too dark....
