  • Ultrahighresolution, 24megapixel sensor, Compact and lightweight, Shoots 1080p full HD video with manual control
  • Overall image quality no better than lowerres cameras, Huge resolution means huge files, Sluggish autofocus in Live View and Movie mode
  • The entry-level Nikon D3200 has a few tricks up its sleeve that make it super-easy for beginners to use, plus some high-end specs like a mega-high-resolution sensor that you won't find even on some pricier cameras. It fits 24 megapixels into a compact and...

  • Abstract:  Despite the emergence of mirrorless cameras, the market is still dominated by conventional DSLRs. Several companies make excellent SLRs to help consumers get better quality pictures for under $1,000. Image quality in the category is generally very similar...

  • Overall we had a good time with the D3200. It's a fast snappy fun camera with a few pet peeves like no auto exposure bracketing and the convoluted menu – things that even cheaper DSLRs and point-and-shoots do better. Of course we can't forget the mono-mi...

  • We've been fans of most Nikon entry-level digital SLRs since the D40 debuted back in 2006. As the latest addition to this popular line, the Nikon D3200 increases the resolution significantly with a 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor. Do consumers and novice ph...

  • Quirks in video start process, Some noise at higher ISO, Distortion Control feature limits burst frames
  • While the D3200 may be Nikon's entry-level DSLR, its 24.2 megapixel resolution sensor makes it the highest resolution cropped sensor camera in the entire Nikon fleet. With its predecessor carrying only 14.2 megapixels it's clear that Nikon chose to go f...

  • 24-megapixel APS-C sensor, High-quality stills, 4 fps and full HD video at 30 fps
  • Kit lens doesn't do the sensor justice, Noisy videos with high ISOs
  • Nikon is to be lauded for offering a 24.2-megapixel DSLR for less than 700 bucks. This is first and foremost a still camera, and as such does a very solid job. It is clearly an entry-level model without the sophisticated tweaks enthusiasts crave such as...

  • With its huge 24 megapixel sensor, the entry-level D3200 instantly becomes the highest-resolution APS-C DX format Nikon DSLR, and it offers more pixels than any competing manufacturer too. Compared to the 18-month-old D3100, Nikon has managed to simul...
