Nikon D3200 fundamental facts
De BISAWiki
The Nikon D3200 is the company's entry-level D-SLR, and as such provides a wealth of features which should appeal to photographers looking for their first interchangeable lens camera. The nikon d3200 24-megapixel shooter enhances upon the 14-megapixel resolution of the D3100 and also offers full manual shooting controls for seasoned shutterbugs. It does well within low light, and offers continuous autofocus during video recording, but doesn't quite oust the current under-$1, 000 Editors' Choice D-SLR, the Nikon D5100, with its broader feature set including a razor-sharp, articulating rear LCD.
Design and Features Even though it dwarfs point-and-shoot digital cameras, the D3200 is quite compact to have an SLR. The body measures 3. 8 by 5. 0 by 3. 1 inches and weighs an even pound (sans zoom lens), slightly smaller than the 3. 9-by-5. 1-by-3. 1, 1. 1-pound Canon EOS Digital rebel T3. Even though the included 18-55mm (27-82. 5mm equivalent) zoom lens is small compared along with professional telephoto zoom lenses, it feels larger than it is when mounted on the small camera.
The biggest advantage that the SLR has over a mirrorless compact interchangeable lens camera such as the Sony Alpha NEX-F3 is actually its optical viewfinder. While you do have the option of adding an EVF to many mirrorless compacts, it isn't the identical to looking through the zoom lens. However, like most other entry-level SLRs, the D3200 skimps a bit on viewfinder quality. It uses a pentamirror style, which uses a series of mirrors to direct the light captured by the lens to your attention. Enthusiast and professional D-SLRs, like the Pentax K-5 and Nikon D800 use a solid glass pentaprism to redirect the light, which results in a larger, brighter image. If you're accustomed to a point-and-shoot, the D3200's viewfinder would have been a huge step up, but old-school photographers may be surprised at just exactly how small the finder is in contrast to classic 35mm SLRs.
