Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera Review

If you want a DSLR camera to start photography, Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera Review. Is one choice for beginners shooting with specifications supplied full.     The Nikon D3200 is Nikon's latest entry-level DSLR, replacing the D3100 as the go-to camera for those upgrading from a digital point- and-shoot for the first time. This camera is also pushing the envelope when it comes to resolution, with the D3200 surpassing its predecessor s 14.2 megapixels with a 24.2-megapixel sensor.     Despite being a DSLR, the D3200 is a small by DSLR standards, but manages to fit in a comfortable hand grip. While the D3200's body does feel a bit plastic, the quality of the rubber on the hand grip and rear thumb rest does make it feel like you're holding a more expensive camera. The buttons on the D3200 are generally the same as the D3100, with one of the more notable differences being the removal of the D3100's combined Live View and video record button. The D3200 now has a separate Live View button on the rear, while the video record button is found right behind the shutter release. Another major change is the removal of the D3100'S drive mode switch, one that is a step backwards in our opinion, as this necessitates accessing the menu system in order to switch drive modes i.e. single, continuous or quiet.     Being an entry-level camera, the D3200 sports an interface that will be easy to use for beginners. Pressing the information button will bring up a screen showing most of the camera's key settings, with navigation done using the d-pad. The display on the D3200 has also been improved from the D3100’s, from 230k dots to 921k dots. A pity the screen cannot be flipped out for more flexible shooting.     In terms of performance, the D3200 scores 2,200LPH vertically and 2,400LPH horizontally in our resolution tests. The D3200 produces very detailed shots and allows for a fair bit of detail to be retained even after cropping. Colors are vibrant the D3200 has a habit of occasionally underexposing, which can be easily solved with exposure compensation. The D3200 keeps noise suppressed until ISO800, which is definitely better then what most compacts can achieve. Noise starts to creep in at ISO800 and JPEG images start to be really grainy at ISO6400. Furthermore, with a higher-resolution sensor, files tend to be larger. So don’t be surprised to see file sizes ranging from 9MB to 11MB.     The D3200 is a good choice if you’re looking for your first interchangeable-lens camera. Fortunately, despite all those pixels, image quality is still excellent even at higher light sensitivities. However, the removal of the drive mode switch does make switching modes a little more troublesome than before.
