Customer Ratings & Reviews

Before I start this particular review, I'd first like to state that I'm a novice when it comes to the photography realm. My primary purpose for this camera is to take it around the globe on my travel adventures. I decided that it was time to get a "big boy" camera and after researching the past few months, I decided on the d3200. I've only had it a month, but thus far this camera is a GIANT LEAP FORWARD from my Sony Cybershot. The manual and overall operating system for the camera are completely user-friendly and I've been able to navigate just fine through the various settings, modes, etc. I've only used it to photograph my Siberian Husky in various settings, but plan to use it on a trip to Thailand next month. I shall update the review when I come back. And if the shots of my Husky are any indicator, I'm more than pleased at the results of this camera. While the model may not have all the bells and whistles with the basic lens that accompanies it, you can always graduate to a better one in the future. Do yourself a favor and check this bad boy out. It's definitely worth it!

I've never had a really good camera before. This is fantastic. Easy to use. With 24.3 megapixels, you get great quality reproductions. I have been taking pictures of Victorian buildings in downtown Dubuque (which has many) and making 8X10s of them. They are all unbelievable. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

Everything about this camera is awesome. The shutter sound is a bit loud but that does not bother me one bit. I love how user friendly it is, with it's guide function and suggestive features that assist you when shooting in certain settings. The images are very detailed and lifelike, great quality. I absolutely adore my Nikon D3200. You will too!

Taking pictures has always been a hobby of mine, but this is the first DSLR camera. It has been easy to use from the moment that I took it out of the box. I have taken so many pictures in the short time that I've had it just trying out both lenses and to see what all it can do. I've been impressed with the picture qualilty and how easy it is to use!

Also good service from the BB sales rep who pointed out I'd do better buying this one than a bundled sale for less $$ as the 'free' lens didn't have the wobble protection. Good advice is why I go back. Now if BB would only put the 40mm Macro lens on sale!!! I have almost enough gift card $$ for it, HINT HINT Photos taken with this camera

Upon opening, I was able to start using the camera with very minimum set up time. The camera is very easy to use and is a great camera for any professional or anyone trying to become a professional photographer.

Had the urge to get back to SLR photography, did some research and decided this was my starting point. I have taken 500 or so photos, kept some and learned from the others. I added the 35 mm prime lens and the 200 zoom lens to my equipment...they have added a lot to my enjoyment. The camera is so good for newer users because it has a guide function you can use and make good pictures without even reading the manual. Then as you learn more, you can begin using manual settings, and experiment with light and exposure. Photography is not a simple science when you want to be artistic, but this camera makes it possible to do high quality pics easily while learning some basics of photographic science!

I needed to replace my D40X due to wear! I had removed the writing and markings on the top of the camera from using so much mosquito spray and not cleaning my hands before using the camera. I hated that, because the D40X is a great camera. However this one, the D3200 is very similar and I was able to use it quickly! I would recommend this camera to anyone.

First DSLR camera and I definitely made a great choice! Easy to use, make sure you read the manual to learn about all the things the camera is capable of. All in all very happy with my purchase.

I have always used digital cameras or cameroders but I should have started using a DSLR a long time ago.

my first DSLR camera and just learning. so far have taken some interesting and fun, quality pictures. bought an additional 50mm prime lens with lower f-stops (higher aperture) to get improved low light performance. that plus the 18-55mm lens that comes with the camera have been a great combination for learning photography techniques. the high resolution photos look great printed large format.

I've done film photography both in the military and as a civilian. I needed a DSLR that would allow me the flexibility that I was accustomed too with my film SLR and not break the bank. The NIKON D3200 fit the bill quite nicely. The DSLR format gives me the flexibility of interchangeable lenses, a choice of auto or manual focus and a wide ISO range to work with. I did find myself somewhat limited with the obvious lack of support for bracketing but it wasn't a deal breaker. I have yet to shoot video with the camera but it supports full HD video and both NTSC and PAL output formats. You can use a variety of accessories with the D3200 like GPS, external microphones, remote shutter controls etc. Overall, the camera is an excellent first step into the world of DSLR at a reasonable price point and from there sky is the limit in terms of Nikon's product line. Give it a try, I think you'll like it.

Great camera for beginner's easy to use right out of the box. Wanted the red but was none to be found. Great for taking action with quick shutter speed

All around if you can afford it , it seems to work fine. a lot but you get what you pay for!

Good image quality and performance!!! and It’s comfortable to hold and handle...

I bought this camera for a trip I'm taking towards the end of the year. I only had my iPhone 4 last year and, well, they're good, but not great.

I really love this camera. I only thought that I was taking great pictures before I bought it. My pictures are clear and the colors come out great. I wish that I could have had it a long time ago.

This is an amazing camera, i was shocked how easy and light it is also i will continue to buy nikon throught out my years! So impressed!!

I would recommend this camera to everyone. Nikon is an excellent brand and Best Buy has great pricing.

I love this camera. It's lightweight and easy to use..
