  • Abstract:  Although Nikon announced its D3200 entry-level DSLR back in April 2012, we didn't receive a review unit until early November, which is a pity as this camera is positioned to attract many buyers, coming as it does in a classy red as well as basic black. Id...

  • With reasonably fast performance and very good photo quality, the Nikon D3200 delivers what you expect from a dSLR
  • The camera's lackluster feature set, some underwhelming design changes, and photos that don't necessarily surpass its predecessor may disappoint
  • The D3200 is a very enjoyable camera to use for beginner photographers. If only the LCD screen was more colour accurate and the automatic focusing in video a little less twitchy, we'd have no qualms in recommending it wholeheartedly....

  • The D3200's most exciting new feature is clearly the new 24-megapixel image sensor, which is partly responsible for the camera's strong improvement in sharpness over the D3100. Sadly, when it comes to image quality, the excitement ends there. With few oth...

  • Abstract:  The Nikon D3200 is the DSLR has the ability to capture the largest images, at 24mega pixel, the highest definition I have ever reviewed. Just think for a moment one tenth of the image size should be enough to print an A4 image if you use it all....

  • Abstract:  Nikon's D3200 is the entry level DSLR from the Japanese imaging giant, but with a 24.2 megapixel sensor and crisp 3-inch LCD screen for viewing your shots around the back, this is anything but a basic picture box. Check out what we made of it in the re...

  • Excellent guide mode, 24MP sensor, Full HD video
  • Odd colours on LCD screen
  • A camera with 24 million pixels at the entry level is pretty extraordinary, and it's pleasing to note that the extra pixels don't come at the cost of a reduction in image quality. For beginners looking to get a bit more creative with their photography, N...

  Published: 2012-06-26, Author: Audley , review by: trustedreviews.com

  • Small and easy to use, Excellent image quality, Noise well controlled throughout ISO range, External mic input adds to movie appeal
  • Guide Mode will only 'guide' you so far, No internal AF motor, Some minor issues with monitor quality
  • For a DSLR the D3200 is very small and not particularly heavy either. Indeed, it's only fractionally bigger than the Fujifilm HS309EXR superzoom we recently reviewed. Overall build quality is on a par with other DSLRs at this price, with the outer shell c...
