I got a new camera for Christmas. It is a Nikon D3200. This camera offers a very high 24.2 megapixel resolution, and comes with an 18-55 mm lens. Other lenses, like a 55-200 mm that I received as my other gift, can be purchased that fit this camera but these can be very expensive.
My first impressions of this camera right out of the box were that it is put together very well. It just feels fancier and better in my hand than my old camera. There were obviously no cheap parts or materials used and it just feels like a quality piece. The first pictures I took, even just testing it out look amazing. The 24.2 megapixel image quality is very crisp and clear. I expect to be able to do much better work with this than my old camera when I get the chance to take some pictures.
This camera is much heavier but also more delicate than the average point and shoot camera. The camera operator must not get dust between the lens and the camera body or the pictures will come out with spots in them. Also if it is dropped there are a few more parts than an average camera and a broken part or entire camera is more likely.
Overall I believe this is an excellent camera, but it does have some disadvantages. Unlike a regular point and shoot, the macro mode on D-SLR cameras like the D3200 isn’t the best. A special macro lens must be purchased in order to take close up shots. Also the lenses that can be purchased to go along with the camera for farther zoom are very expensive, some being upwards of $1000 for the best quality and farthest zoom. I cannot wait to see what I can do with this camera.
