Like many folks, I pre-ordered the D800 the same
day it was available. Alas, Nikon totally blew the market analysis vs
production vs. supply chain formula. After waiting 2 months, I had to
leave the country before Nikon got it's D800 act together. I needed a
beat-up D90 replacement camera, and the D3200 seemed like a decent
place-holder. I quickly ordered one before they were back-ordered too!
Sure, the D3200 is DX, not FX. Sure, it is not nearly as flexible.
Sure, it can only AF with newer lenses. BUT, you can buy about
4-D3200's for the price of a D800, AND it comes with a decent kit lens
for $699!
The tutoring graphical-based menu system is geared more
to beginners, which I am not, so I find it maddening. Most will love
it, since it is somewhat educational, and offers a great variety of
pre-sets to take creative shots easily.
It is amazingly light
weight - lighter than most lenses! It is very quiet. The AF could be
faster, but it's plenty fast enough. When you dig deeper, you shockingly
find that the D3200 has many advanced internal features from the
highest-end cameras (D800 & F4). The high-res LCD rear screen, the
EXPEED 3 image processing engine, and a new 24MP sensor. The EXPEED 3
image processing engine allows the D3200 to perform at an altitude
unheard of for a so-called entry level camera. Nikon's Active-D dynamic
range enhancement at 24MP at 4 frames per second requires substantial
in-camera processing power.
I bought this camera primarily for
still photography. With the proper lenses & technique, the results
are stunning. Low-light/high ISO performance is far beyond what you
should expect at this level camera. Candle-lit face images are
noise-free, and look great.
