Nikon Coolpix 3200

Nikon Coolpix 3200 Review. A basic entry level model. It is easy to use and will appeal to anyone looking for a big named brand at a low price.

What can I say. A very standard digital camera. Takes good pictures and you won't be disappointed. It is just a little difficult to identify anything that really makes it stand out from the crowd.

Nikon Coolpix 3200 review: Nikon Coolpix 3200

Intro The Nikon Coolpix 3200 eases the first-time buyer's transition to digital photography by combining lots of fun features that are easy to use with acceptable 3.2-megapixel image quality, a pocketable design, and an affordable price. There are...

Decent image quality; autofocus-assist lamp; simple operation; solid macro capabilities.

No memory card or rechargeable batteries in the box; few manual controls; slow shot-to-shot time with flash; no diopter adjustment; slow autofocus in dim light.

This easy-to-use Nikon is a good starter camera for the new digital photographer, but it lacks most manual controls more-experienced shooters demand, and both the memory card and the rechargeable batteries cost extra.

Nikon Coolpix 3200

Nikon packs a lot of features into the 3.2MP Nikon Coolpix 3200 that make it an easy-to-operate entry-level compact for the novice but not a camera for the enthusiast.

Focuses well in low light. Easy to use. Abundant scene select/scene assist modes (with guides).

Slow. No shutter or aperture priority modes. No selectable ISO. Unimpressive video mode.

Our lab test results revealed the Coolpix 3200 to be slow, especially with a 6.5-second recycle time. Its 3.2MP sensor was able to resolve 975 lineslow compared with other 3MP cameras we've tested but still within the range of what we'd consider...

Nikon Coolpix 3200 Review – 001
