The Nikon D3200 Digital SLR Camera With AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR Lens (Red) is a professional imaging machine in the truest sense. It captures stunning high-resolution JPEG and RAW still photos and HD 1080p video via its 24.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor. Enjoy superior color and sharpness, make gorgeous adjustments and perform creative cropping without any loss in sharpness. The camera's EXPEED III image processor makes optimal use of the 24.2 MP sensor, producing fine tonal gradations and exceptional color fidelity. The large 3.0" (7.6 cm) 921K-dot LCD allows bright, clear framing, playback, menu navigation and Guide Mode settings.
The versatile included AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G lens with Vibration Reduction (VR) for blur-free photos is ideal for wide-angle to medium telephoto shooting. The camera is compatible with an array of other NIKKOR lenses, as well. The D3200's quick, accurate 11-point autofocusing system with phase-detection AF within the camera finder works to ensure you never miss an opportunity to grab a great shot.
The camera features a wide ISO sensitivity range from 100-6400, which can be increased to as high as 12800. Get great shots and clips under various lighting situations with low noise. Capture full, broadcast-quality 1080p HD video at 30, 25 or 24fps, and 720p video at 60 or 50fps. The optional ME-1 Stereo Microphone (not included) provides crystal clear stereo sound to accompany your crisp video. You can shoot up to 4fps at full resolution to catch those precious moments missed by other cameras.
While the D3200 is a pro-level camera, it's certainly more than accessible by those who are not professionals. In-camera guidance shows you, step-by-step, the way to change camera settings, and provides sample photos for easy comprehension.
With an optional WU-1a wireless mobile adapter, you have the ability to automatically send superb images to your smartphone--or even use the phone to remotely control the camera and take pictures or record video! The easy-to-use app makes it all possible. Now, when you get that great shot you just can't wait to share...you won't have to.

Comments about Nikon D3200 Digital SLR Camera With AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR Lens (Red):
I purchased this product as a gift. The person that received it is extremely happy with this camera. It does need a few more lenses to be complete for what they want it for, but I thought this was a nice package to get started with. They photograph reptiles and needed the MP to be a pretty high resolution. Overall the end results seem to be very satisfying. It has done its job very well and with a little more practice the pictures will turn out perfectly. The ease of use is also pretty clear for a newcomer into the DSLR world.

The Nikon D3200 Digital SLR camera is EXCELLENT! I also have a Canon Rebel SLR camera(which I love also) that is comparable to the Nikon D3200 and I have found that I like the D3200 better because of the clarity of the pictures taken. Very clear, very good color, and excellent lighting. I would HIGHLY recommend this camera.

Comments about Nikon D3200 Digital SLR Camera With AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR Lens (Red):
I was always frustrated by the limited control I had with the standard point-and-shoot. Since I love traveling but also enjoy exploring my home town with a camera, the D3200 became my constant companion. After getting used to the many functions (many as in comparison to point-and-shoot) I believe the camera is perfect for beginners or hobby photographers. The display is large and easy to understand. Live view works very well. Many standard functions (flash on/off, etc.) are easy and fast to manipulate. Overall a great camera for a good price!

Light, easy to use with one hand.I work with local bands and we set up in some very old building with exposed beams. With the hand grip strap there isn't the fear of dropping the D3200 along with the 10-20mm Sigma lens.
