Limitations

The Nikon D3200 lacks an external microphone input, limiting advanced audio recording options. It does not feature built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity for instant image transfer. The continuous shooting speed is moderate at approximately 4 frames per second, which might limit fast-action photography. Its LCD screen does not have a touch interface or articulating design, reducing flexibility during shooting. The camera's battery life, rated at around 550 shots per charge, could be restrictive for extended shoots. There is no weather sealing, making it less ideal for harsh environmental conditions.
