Our opinion
Nikon's entry-level basic D-SLR from a few years ago makes it easy to shoot high-quality images and then share them instantly. We're now listing this model for education departments or students who want an ideal step-up camera from snapshots to photography but don't want to pay the ever-increasing prices for a new camera.
The camera is checked and serviced before sale and comes with a charger, battery and strap. For peace of mind, it also comes with a six-month warranty.
The D3200 achieves stunning shots in low light and lets you create portraits with smooth background blur.
Scene Recognition System enables beautiful pictures with sharp focus and appropriate brightness and colour by recognising the subject and scene conditions before capture. It offers a broad ISO sensitivity with a range of standard-setting from ISO 100 to 6400. You can set it to ISO 12800 equivalent.
You can shoot with High-speed continuous shooting at approximately four fps to capture decisive moments reliably. The large and easy-to-view LCD monitor is high-definition with approximately 921k-dot, 7.5-cm/3-inch wide-viewing-angle LCD monitor.
The variety of Scene Modes ensures the most appropriate camera settings according to shooting situations, such as Child and Landscapes.
You may want to try your hand at semi-automatic modes or even go manual. It takes all Nikon-mount AF-S and AI lenses.
