On the other side of the lens mount in the recess is the AF assist lamp/Red-eye reduction lamp and on the handgrip itself you can just make out one of two IR receivers for remote operation using the ML-元 – the other one is on the rear to the left of the viewfinder. It’s a little disappointing to discover there’s still no optical Depth of Field preview – a feature that the entry-level Nikon DSLR has long lacked, but which Canon offers on the EOS T2i / 550D. The flash button both pops-up the built-in flash and, when held down, allows flash mode selection using the command dial.

The front is unchanged with a programmable function button which provides direct access to image quality/size, ISO sensitivity, white balance or Active D-lighting settings. And the mode dial loses its continuous shooting lever, but otherwise looks the same and has the same positions as the earlier model.

#Nikon d3200 slr reviews movie
The Exposure compensation and info button (which toggles the rear info display) have been joined by a dedicated movie record button which replaces the combined Live view/movie recording Lever/button on the rear panel of its predecessor. The top plate looks similar to the D3100, but there are some significant differences. The D3200 is a comfortable camera to hold, it has a slightly deeper, more contoured grip than the T2i / 550D and with your palm on the base of the body the lens zoom ring is a more natural fit for your left hand. So read-on to discover how Nikon’s latest entry-level DSLR measures-up! Indeed I believe they’re the same chip behind the scenes, so it’s revealing to see how two companies handle such a high pixel density. I’ve also included tests comparing the D3200 against the Sony NEX-7, not because they’re similar in price or features – on the contrary they’re completely different cameras aimed at very different markets – but because both share 24 Megapixel APS-C sensors. The T2i / 550D is actually a good match in both current price and feature-set, so despite being two years older, that’s the main model I’ve used for comparison here. As such prices have fallen and the nearest rival for the D3200 from Canon in terms of price is the EOS Rebel T2i / 550D, as oppose to the entry-level EOS Rebel T3 / 1100D. Normally we’d compare the entry-level Nikon DSLR against the latest entry-level Canon DSLR, but at the time of writing, Canon hadn’t updated its entry-level models for some time. Nikon has also marginally improved the continuous shooting capabilities of the D3200 with a top speed of 4fps, reintroduced the front and rear IR remote receivers and included the option to attach the Wu-1a wireless dongle which can transmit images to compatible phones or tablets and use them to remote control the camera. Not only that, audio recording levels can be adjusted with the help of built-in stereo audio level meters, all of which makes the D3200 a much more attractive option for shooting movies than its predecessor. You can now also control exposure during movie shooting and Nikon has added a socket for an external mic.

The 1080p24 mode remains but is supplemented by 1080p25/30. The movie mode also gets a upgrade, but it’s not what you might expect.
#Nikon d3200 slr reviews upgrade
The headline upgrade is pure resolution with the new D3200 boasting nothing less than 24 Megapixels, a whopping ten more than its predecessor – indeed it subsequently becomes the highest resolution DX-format body in the Nikon range, let alone the highest entry-level model.Īlongside the higher resolution sensor the processor has been upgraded to the Expeed 3, and while the D3200 retains its predecessor’s 3in fixed screen, the display resolution is increased to 921k pixels. Announced in April 2012, it replaces the best-selling D3100 and like that model, makes a number of key improvements. The Nikon D3200 is the company’s latest entry-level DSLR.
