So what do the critics think of the Nikon D3200?

Overall, most reviews point out a fast burst rate and a great image quality displaying a well-balanced noise reduction in high-ISO images (up to 1600 ISO).

In addition, Nikon’s user interface is intuitive and the camera includes a GUIDE mode designed to assist beginners. One also has the option to connect an additional WI-FI adaptor (WU-1a), a great feature if you wish to take pictures remotely, download pictures from the camera and share them on the social networks.

Eventually, the Nikon D3200 is a good entry-level camera that particularly fits novice and action/outdoor photographers – thanks to a notably lightweight and comfortable hand-grip.
