Quick view

The Nikon D3200 is a 24.2-megapixel entry-level DSLR camera that was released in 2012, designed for beginner photographers seeking high resolution and image quality. It features a CMOS APS-C sensor (DX format) that provides excellent detail and color accuracy. The camera's EXPEED 3 image processing engine offers enhanced speed, noise reduction, and image quality. Autofocus is handled through an 11-point Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus sensor module ensuring sharp subject tracking. The D3200 can shoot Full HD 1080p video at multiple frame rates, making it versatile for both still and video capture. Connectivity includes USB 2.0 and HDMI for media transfer and playback. The camera supports SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards and uses a Nikon F-mount for a wide compatibility with lenses.

Its rear LCD is a fixed 3-inch, 921k-dot display for image review and menu navigation. The camera offers a native ISO range of 100-6400, expandable to 12800, facilitating low-light photography. Continuous shooting is available at up to 4 fps for action shots. The body is lightweight and compact, typical for entry-level DSLRs.

The Nikon D3200 boasts a very high-resolution 24.2 MP sensor that delivers crisp, detailed images far exceeding its class at the time. It incorporates an advanced EXPEED 3 processor which enhances color reproduction and reduces noise effectively. The camera is beginner-friendly with an easy-to-use interface and helpful Guide Mode for new users. Full HD video recording with autofocus during movie capture adds versatility. It features a durable DSLR build with a comfortable grip, ideal for extended shooting sessions. Battery life is solid, enabling around 540 shots per charge, suitable for day-long use. The compatibility with a wide range of Nikon F-mount lenses provides significant creative flexibility.

The Nikon D3200 lacks built-in Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity, requiring external accessories for wireless transfer or geotagging. The rear LCD screen is fixed and cannot articulate, limiting shooting angles especially in video or low/high positioning. The autofocus system, while reliable, has only 11 points, which is more basic compared to mid-range and advanced DSLR models. There is no touchscreen capability on the camera’s display. Video recording does not support manual exposure control or HDMI clean output, limiting some professional video usage. The plastic body construction, although lightweight, compromises durability somewhat compared to higher-end models with weather sealing. The camera does not include features like in-body image stabilization which had not been commonly integrated at that time.
