REVIEWS FROM ONLINE 

SHOPPING COMPANIES!


1) D5100>D3200
one who can afford a D3200 can also afford a D5100,which is a much better camera,in terms IQ,low-light performance,high ISO performance and features like in-Camera HDR.
The sensor of D3200 is of higher density,but it will not make much of a difference as size is the same,and in that size,the sensor of D5100 (16.1 MP),is more than enough.
My suggestion is,go for the D5100.If you would like to go for Canon,then you can take a look at the EOS 550D at the same price range.Advantage of 550D would be,it has built-in focus motor which both D3200 and D5100 lack.So,you will have invest less money on lenses if you go for the Canon.

Nonetheless,D3200 is a very good camera,and with manufacturers like Canon or Nikon,you just simply cannot go wrong.Go for D3200 if you want really large prints and/or want to crop later.It will give excellent performance in almost 90% of the cases.Go for D5100 if you want to do a wider range of photography,and still remain within the budget.
I will give a 4 out of 5 to D3200 based on what I experienced(one of my friends bought it recently).Its a decent entry-level DSLR.Also,look out for the Sony NEX series cameras.They are good pretty good as well.




2) D3200 is a nice camera!!!
Last week I bought Nikon D3200. It was like my dream fullfilled. After searching and reviewing tons of sites, I ended my search on D3200 as Camera and Flipkart as Seller.

First of all I would tell you the future buyers or who have been using other cameras (in this category) that D3200 is much better camera than previous models like D3100 or D5100 or in Canon 550D. People who compare this with 550D or D3100/D5100 don't know that D3200 is the second best camera in sensor performance after Nikon 800. And its hardware features is being compared to Nikon Flagship Camera D800. Let me tell you why this camera is better than others.

- Sensor of D3200 is second best sensor amongst all hi-end
cameras.
- Processor of D3200 is same as Nikon Flagship Camera D4 (Reader can find it on Nikon site)

People (all of us) who claim that image quality and ISO sensitivity of D5100 is better than D3200 because they are just reading testing lab result, otherwise normal or expert user can't tell the distinguish be it D3100 / D3200 or 550D/600D.

I just started using this camera and have posted some pix on my facebook and flickr and I got really really good response.

And above all, I would like to thanks "Flipkart Team" who helped me get my dream fulfilled. I got my camera before the committed time i.e. in less than 24 hr of my purchase order. (except Sunday).

I am giving this Camera 4 out 5 star because my hands are bigger and size of this camera is bit small for me. :)

PS : This is unbiased feedback. I am praising D3200 not for that because I have bought it. I just wanted to buy latest launched camera. D3200 was launched in April 2012. Rest are almost 2 years old cameras. But still I love D3100 / D5100 / 550D / 660D, because all are same. 


3) An Intermediate Upgrade From Its 

Predecessor; The D3100.


The Nikon D3200 is a great intermediate level dslr shooter's companion, it has a 24MP Sensor, but most photographers know that the megapixels don't matter much, its the sensor that does, the Nikon D3100 on the other hand is a camera aimed towards beginners looking to get into DSLR photography, in my opinion it is a better buy, and for 4-5000 rupees more, all your really getting is (in terms of specifications) a bump in megapixels and a microphone input port, in conclusion, I can still recommend the Nikon D3200, but really to a specific crowd rather than the slighter larger majority which would be better off with the D3100. :)
