A:AnswerNikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) technology is an exciting feature which allows sharp photographs to be taken when the camera cannot be held perfectly still. Some lenses including zoom and telephoto's have it built in while others do not.
A:AnswerShort answer: no. But keep reading and I'll explain why in this case it doesn't matter. :)
This is something you won't learn directly from Best Buy itself and you have to dig across the internet to find it, but Nikon products are subject to a, "Minimum advertised price." That is to say, their price is regulated by Nikon. Any Nikon dealer will have the same price (or very close to it, within a few dollars), and if you don't purchase from a genuine Nikon dealer, you will not have a warranty.
As a new camera that is quite in demand, I wouldn't expect it to drop in price, even with a temporary sale (which, as mentioned, doesn't happen), through at least the end of the year. Nikon DSLRs don't go, "On sale," they simply get price-reduced as time goes on. The best you can hope for is to get a bundle with an additional lens, and for those, the prices change monthly in accordance with the Nikon dealer agreements (the September prices just went into effect).
If you'd like the D3200, I'd also check out the D5100 or D3100, both of which are less expensive. The D3200's resolution is so high that it's beyond the resolving power of the lens it comes with, so if you really want to take advantage of the camera, you'll need to start with some more exotic glass, such as the 16-85 mm lens (which I've linked) anyway, which will increase your price even more.
The D5100 has more advanced features, including additional ISO steps and more sophisticated control and remote features, and slightly better dynamic range than the D3200, plus a twisting LCD, but lacks the super high resolution.
The D3100 has lower dynamic range and high ISO performance and a slightly slower continuous drive speed, but it still takes fantastic images and is a real bargain at the price it's at.
A:AnswerThe D3200 is an interchangeable lens camera. You can choose from a number of different lenses Nikon makes. Please check out the NIKKOR lenses on Best Buy's website that have the AF-S designator. Those are the ones that are 100% compatible with your camera.
A:AnswerFor the d3200 or d3300 you will need the wifi dongle from Nikon to attach to the camera. It is pretty handy and will connect with a cellphone and allow you to remotely control the camera
A:AnswerI have the full size Nikon D-100. This camera is more compact, yet still has that professional, full function 'feel' about it with good access to all controls
A:AnswerUsing a tripod is always a good idea, especially when taking photos at night. You have to decrease the shutter speed to at least 1 second or longer, otherwise you have "camera shake" ;in other words, blurry photos. It also provides a stable foundation for taking photos on mountain areas.
A:AnswerThis seems terribly obvious, but whatever the price label on the website is, is what you'll pay for the camera. Taxes and shipping are added during the checkout process, and you're given an exact total before you pay.
It's currently at the MSRP of $699.99, but that changes periodically.
A:AnswerI attached the link to it in the recomendations below, you can check it out for yourself.
It is not currently compatible with the iPhone, only Android.
