Nikon D3200 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR NIKKOR Zoom Lens (Red)

Although I know my review will fall between the other high-rated ones eventually, I thought i'd share my positive experiences with this camera. PROS: -Price. $500 is cheap in comparison to other similar (albeit lower quality) cameras, like the Canon Rebel T3i, 60D, or even the newer T5i. -Build Quality. This camera is built in Thailand to the extent of my knowledge but the quality control on mine is absolutely incredible. Doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. Has nice grips and a comfortable weight to it. Not an overly bulky camera either. -Image quality/sensor. At $500, you get a true 24.2 megapixel DSLR camera. SnapSort in their comparison of the D3200 vs its direct competitor, the Canon Rebel T3i 18 megapixel DSLR, stated that the image quality on the D3200 is over 20% better as attributed to the D3200's 10% larger image sensor and higher true megapixel count, which accounts for 30% more detail in photos. The image sensor is very high quality and this camera consistently takes incredible pictures. I'm not a professional photography by any means, this is simply a great hobby of mine, but I am a perfectionist about pictures. The ability to easily take awesome pictures with this camera is second to none. -Ease of use. I am an amateur photographer who was looking for a nice upgrade and I made sure to do my homework when it came to selecting a camera. I ended up on this camera because of what everybody else said, it's ease of use was a major selling factor in the purchase. I've had this camera for a few weeks and I still haven't even figured out everything it's capable of-- there's quite a bit! But the guide mode helps you with some basic and advanced photography. -Nice lens kit. Out of the box I'll admit the 18-55mm is quite limited in what it can do, especially as somebody who enjoys macrophotography, but it'll be able to do most of the shots you'd like to take. The VR feature is nice as well. -Nikon brand quality. As always, Nikon has delivered a high quality product. I've owned a few Nikon products before and they've never failed me. I prefer Nikons to Canons in the world of DSLRs anyway. -Ability to save as JPG/Raw. -Out of the box: comes with body, lens, strap, battery and charger, etc. CONS: -I can't really seem to think of any that aren't dumb little nitpicks. Final thoughts: This camera is perfect for the beginner and good enough for the master. It does it all!

After ALOT of research, I decided to purchase this camera as my first DSLR! Taking pictures is something I truly enjoy but I wanted to go beyond the regular digital cameras, and my iPhone. One of my biggest concerns was that my iPhone might take better pictures. Through my research I had read a lot of articles saying to not waste your money on DSLR cameras because, the iPhone camera is even better. I didn't believe this to be true, but it was still on the back of my mind since I wanted to move up from the iPhone camera. Anyways, my camera came in and I could not be more pleased. It has met all of my expectations and it takes amazing pictures. I will be taking my camera up to new Hampshire with me this weekend while I hike and I am so excited. Since I am a beginner, I would say that this camera is great for noobies! I do suggest however while waiting for it to ship, watch some youtube videos and study up on it. If you are truly passionate about taking good photos, there is a lot to learn. Its a camera you can easily pick up and use, but, theres so much more to the camera than just "auto" mode! Here are the youtube videos I have watched and have found very helpful! When you get the camera and un pack it, be sure to take a peak at the different pieces that came with it and where they go. Then I suggest you follow the steps in this video! It was super helpful for me! [...] How to work with shutter speeds and its cause and effect! (This was fun to experiment with) [...] More in depth how to work with shutter speeds (with our camera) [...] This video is for creative photo techniques [....] There are so much more, but here are the ones I have so far played around with!

I've had this camera for a little over a year and I can say hands down its one of the best cameras I have ever owned! I'm a self-employed videographer that recently entered the world of professional photography. Being on a small budget as an aspiring photographer, I find that this camera perfectly meets my needs, earning me some good quality photos and income without costing me a fortune. At first, I was an average camera user until my regular digital camera died on me. At that time, I was asked by clients if I do photography and so I said yes, and from there, I taught myself professional photography in just a few weeks on this wonderful Nikon series camera. What's amazing is that I've bought this Nikon D3200 and using this for the first time, I must say it made a great first impression on me. PERFORMANCE: 5/5 Nikon D3200 features great image quality with 24.2MP and a great ISO. It has a pretty fast shutter speed and it is great to be able to switch between manual and automatic controls. Image quality: 5/5 Overall, good image depending on the lighting environment. Photo quality is great under a well-lit atmosphere using the built-in flash but I recommend using an external flash. Images aren't quite Paparazzi-worthy but the photos this camera takes will blow you away, nonetheless. It's a great camera for a first-time photographer looking to get their start as a professional. I'd recommend you use more than just the stock included OEM camera lens. I recommend zoom lenses and fish-eye lenses for this camera to create more eye-catching stunning photos. This camera is great for the beginner and intermediate, alike. But if you want to go bigger, do so. If you're a full-blown professional, more than likely, you'll buy a more expensive camera. The average price of this camera currently at the time of writing this review is $300. Professionals usually invest $900+ in their camera. But cost isn't everything. Each photographer must carefully consider a camera not just because its high price but consider image quality and other functionality. BATTERY LIFE: 5/5 Battery life is impressive, to my standards. But as with anything, battery life always depends how much a device is used and what settings are used. Usually, I use this camera for weddings and receptions. I take an average of 300-500 photos per event day so using the camera from 1PM until about 11PM, I'm able to use this camera the entire event day without charging the factory OEM battery. (*Note: I usually do not use the flash for about 100 photos, as they are outdoor daylight photos. The rest of the photos are indoor photos.) WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT: Small minor issue but I wish that DSLRs like these featured internal memory storage, instead of just relying on only external SD cards.

Consegna rapidissima, venditore estremamente affidabile. Hanno aggiunto un manualein lingua italiana (si vde che non è l'originale, ma è stato stampato e rilegato con cura). Imballaggio: oltre alla scatola originale del produttore cìera un doppio strato di cartone a protezione, quindi anche qui siamo su livelli più che buoni. Sul macchina fotografica c'è ben poco da dire: nella produzione di macchine fotografiche per il mercato non professionale non ci sono paragoni.

Hubo pequeños detalles con el repartidor, pero ya me llego la camara, es totalmente nueva, muchas gracias esta exelente saludos

Si estas buscando una cámara para iniciarte en la fotografía o simplemente obtener buenas imágenes esta es la cámara perfecta. La duración de la batería me ha sorprendido, la he usado en viajes una y otra vez y nunca me he quedado colgado sin batería. Definitivamente una gran compra!

Excelente cámara para iniciarse

Good Camera at a reasonable price. Sharp pictures which do not pixelate when zoomed in. Truly satisfied with this product
