The Nikon D3200 is a DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount camera officially launched by Nikon on April 19, 2012. It replaces the D3100 as Nikon's entry level DSLR, also its improved image quality is often compared to pro DSLRs.[1]
[edit] Features
- Nikon's 24.2 (total 24.7) megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor with ISO 100–6400 (ISO 12800 boost)
- 1080p Full HD movie mode
- Nikon Expeed 3 image processor
- Active D-Lighting
- Automatic chromatic aberration correction.
- Image Sensor Cleaning function by vibrations and Airflow Control System
- Image area Pixels is the DX Format which can be adjusted to (Large) 6,016 × 4,000 (Medium) 4,512 × 3,000 (Small) 3,008 × 2,000
- Storage media is either SD, SDHC or SDXC
Nikon provides no automatic exposure bracketing in the D3200 like in all of its cheapest consumer DSLRs. Automatic exposure bracketing is useful to increase the dynamic range for example for high dynamic range imaging (HDR).
The dynamic range of the Nikon D3200 (Expeed 3, 14 bits reduced to 12 bits) exceeds even full-frame DSLRs like Nikon D3S (Expeed 2, 14 bits) or Canon 5D MK3 (DIGIC, 14 bits) at low film speeds (ISO 100 and ISO 200) due to reduced effective resolution of the analog-to-digital converters.[2] This makes it possible to shoot high dynamic range images with one shot (especially when using Raw image format) without disadvantages like blurring or ghost images when merging multiple images.
[edit] Reception
DxO Labs awarded its sensor an overall score of 81, partly due to a very wide dynamic range.[3] At time of testing the second highest result of all APS-C DSLRs in the DxO Labs/DxOMark sensor rating was achieved, above much more expensive competitors.[4]
Comparisons[5][2][1] and image comparisons at all ISO speeds in JPEG[6] are available.
