Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the first DSLR I have ever owned and I am in love with it. I have taken this camera to the zoo, to the Alamo, to the San Antonio Riverwalk and it takes perfect pictures. If you are looking to start with a DSLR this is definitely the one to start with. It doesn't have all of the features of the Nikon D5100 but it is a great basic camera. Truth be told you don't need all those extras, because you can get the same things the D5100 offers in Lightroom or Photoshop so I would recommend the D3200 over it anyways. I picked it up with a 55-300mm Nikkor AF VR lens and it has become the best purchase I think I could have gotten for the money.

first time DSLR so I did a lot of research. Love this camera, can use right away and stil able to grow as a photographer with the feature. highly recommend.

I purchased this camera as a beginner camera for me and my wife on black friday. So far we have taken some great pics. I love how easy it is to use. More megapixels than the others, although I don't know if that matters much.

I'm a beginner to the DSLR cameras. I choose this one base on the reviews, most people said that is a great camera for beginners. This is truth ... easy to use, great pictures and lot of features. I love the wireless connection to the phone, tablet or PC. Easier to download, share and publish your photos. The price was dropped.

I'm just getting into photography and thought i'd spend a little extra money on something that will last. So far this camera has loads of great features. I just wish I knew what I was doing so I could utilize it properly. I've taken it with me everywhere so I can learn how to use it and i've taken some amazing pictures. Now i'm looking into filters and lenses. This is gonna be an expensive hobby Highly recommend this camera!

This is my first DSLR camera but I have prior knowledge of how to use a DSLR from friends, and reading online and using a coolpix camera before. So using this nikon d3200 in manual mode is no problem for me but when im lazy and just want quick photos auto mode does fine. Pros: -great battery life / took maybe 500-600 photos and I still had 2 bars of battery left -it has good features, a guide mode for easy use, good LCD screen - kit lens pretty good but im looking to pick up a 35mm prime lens, also paying the extra $100 for the 50mm-200mm lens bundle is something i should have done -nice camera size I dont feel its huge or over bearing walking around with it Minor Cons: - Raw files are pretty big i want to say about 40mbs per photo and raw +jpeg is about 60mbs (I have a 32 GB card so im not complaining just giving details) - when in live view mode there is no accelerometer for leveling photos -video quality hasnt wowed me yet -there is a self timer that takes up to 9 photos so if you are trying to do timelapses you may need to invest in a remote overall its a good price better than the Canon T3i also some of the photos customers are posting that they have taken with this camera are pretty bad lol...

I have been stuck in the stone age of cameras with my 35mm that I just could not give up because of the great pictures that it took. Well not anymore. I cannot believe I waited so long . Everything about this camera is great for me. People are surprised that it is a 24 megapixel for the price I paid for it. All I can say is that my walls will be covered with pics now that I have this camera. It is always at a arms reach.

I Bought the D3200 today and put it through the test. It was a dreary overcast day and low interior lighting. The camera does well and I like the menu system. I've been shooting a Nikon D200 for many years and wanted to buy a Nikon dslr that shot hd video. So far I haven't been blown away by the pictures (24mp) but I am still learning the camera and haven't had very good lighting. I'm using a 12-24mm and a 60mm macro… haven't tried the kit lens yet, might just put that one in the garbage can. The video is great if you put the camera on a tripod and fine focus each shot. Walking around and shooting the D3200 like a traditional video camera (with auto focus and image stabilization) will not produce satisfactory video. Good lighting is also very important. If you are a beginner learn about shutter speed, aperture, iso, etc. and you should do well.

Great gift to my fiance. She loved how it took photos and was able to make adjustments with ease. She liked how it was smaller than some of the other models and fit in her palm better. We also got a telephoto lens and some filters. She continues to rave about how easy the camera is to use and how it still gives her room to grow as she improves with her photography.

I like everything about the camera. Great shots. Good ISO. Easy settings. I love the large megapixels. The help on the product or manual was great, I can easily set the aperture, ISO to my liking.

I have had this camera for a month. It takes amazing photos and videos. Very easy for beginners. Great for professionals . I have had 2 blurry pictures out of 287! This is the best Nikon I have ever owned.

This is my second Nikon, and it is a fairly significant upgrade from my first one I bought (about 6 years ago). This camera packs a lot of features, and lives up to the hype. For beginners, there's a guide mode which is really useful for learning how to use all of the various settings on this camera. For folks who are more experienced, there is no shortage of performance. I would like to have seen more range on the ISO, but I can make adjustments in the aperature and shutter speed to accomodate. All in all this is a great camera!

I absolutely LOVE this camera! I purchased the 55-300 mm lens with it and it's amazing! Great quality pictures! Easy for beginners, but still great quality for people who have more experience! Great product!!

Bought camera as a step up from a four yr old sony. Camera does not disappoint! Took on vacation to DC and took ovver 2,000 pics in 5 days. Witnessed a 21 gun salute at the Marine Memorial and even at 100 yrds away the picture clarity is soo great you can see the shell casings flying out of the guns! I would highly recommend the Damron 18-270 lens. Little costly but well worth it!

This is my first Digital SLR camera and I absolutely love it! Fully automatic, easy to use, great battery life... The total package!

This Camera kit is a great value. Comes with a 18-55mm Lens, which is a basic lens but it's more than enough to give you a head start into photography. I would say that this is very nice entry level camera and I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about starting in photography.

We upgraded from a digital camera. Literally - this is our Best purchase ever! We have children and we love this camera. Easy to use. Fast pictures. Awesome quality. No drawbacks. I will stick with Nikon - no more digital camera's for our family. We are spoiled with this camera...

I am really love this camera, and Cant Get enough of taking pictures with this camera, i spent my whole day playing around with it. i love how many mp are in it 24.2 mp is crazy for this price!!!!!!! the picture quality is amazing.Would recommend this to anyone!!!!

When it comes to a mid level camera, the Nikon D3200 is prime. Its features are seemingly endless and the image quality is nothing short of inspiring. If you're asking yourself whether or not this camera is for you, the answer is yes.

A high quality but still user friendly camera. From the 24+ k picture quality to the built in user guide, this camera is great for amateur or professional alike.
