“Difference between the 3100 and 3200? I'm new photography (I just always used a cheap point and shoot camera) and want one that takes good up close photos for my food blog, and of other products like jewelry and hand crafted items for some websites I create for friends. I also want it to do decent video for web tutorials as well as be a good camera to take on family vacations. It needs to capture natural light well (so do well in low lighting) and if I need to zoom into a photo and crop it later in Photoshop I would like for it to not be super pixilated. and of course auto focus capabilities with the lenses it comes with (I don't want to have to buy another $500 lense to get auto focus). From what I have read the 3100 is a good starting place. I wanted to know what the difference is between it and the 3200 as far as performance. Does having more pixles really matter if I don't plan to blow up prints? Are their any other things it has the 3100 does not have?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the Nikon D3100 and it does everything I need to do and has 14 Megapixels. The D3200 has 24 Megapixels and costs more. The only difference that I know about is the higher resolution. If you don't need 24 Megapixels get the D3100. It is a great camera and is on sale now because it is an older model.
