Last week I bought Nikon D3200. It was like my dream fullfilled. After searching and reviewing tons of sites, I ended my search on D3200 as Camera and Flipkart as Seller.nnFirst of all I would tell you the future buyers or who have been using other cameras (in this category) that D3200 is much better camera than previous models like D3100 or D5100 or in Canon 550D. People who compare this with 550D or D3100/D5100 don't know that D3200 is the second best camera in sensor performance after Nikon 800. And its hardware features is being compared to Nikon Flagship Camera D800. Let me tell you why this camera is better than others.nn- Sensor of D3200 is second best sensor amongst all hi-end ncameras.n- Processor of D3200 is same as Nikon Flagship Camera D4 (Reader can find it on Nikon site)nnPeople (all of us) who claim that image quality and ISO sensitivity of D5100 is better than D3200 because they are just reading testing lab result, otherwise normal or expert user can't tell the distinguish be it D3100 / D3200 or 550D/600D. nnI just started using this camera and have posted some pix on my facebook and flickr and I got really really good response.nnAnd above all, I would like to thanks "Flipkart Team" who helped me get my dream fulfilled. I got my camera before the committed time i.e. in less than 24 hr of my purchase order. (except Sunday).nnI am giving this Camera 4 out 5 star because my hands are bigger and size of this camera is bit small for me. :)nnPS : This is unbiased feedback. I am praising D3200 not for that because I have bought it. I just wanted to buy latest launched camera. D3200 was launched in April 2012. Rest are almost 2 years old cameras. But still I love D3100 / D5100 / 550D / 660D, because all are same.
Here are a few reasons to go for the D5100 over the D3200, for those who are undecided and just can't make up their minds:nn(1) Better low-light performance - with 16.2MPixels, the noise at high-ISO settings is better than the D3200 (which provides 24MPixels on a marginally smaller sensor). The 24MPixels gives the D3200 a resolution of ~129 line-pairs/mm, while the 16.2 MPixels gives the D5100 a resolution of ~104 lp/mm. Even a high-end exotic lens will provide a maximum optical resolution of ~50 lp/mm, which means that the 104 lp/mm sensor of the D5100 already outresolves the lens. So go for the lower noise, better low light performing D5100.nn(2) Auto exposure and white balance bracketing: Believe it or not, the D3200 does not have an AE/WB bracketing option! The D5100 on the other hand allows auto-bracketing in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments, and in addition, provides an in-camera HDR option (which I rarely use, but there it is).nn(3) Active D-Lighting: More options in the D5100 (Auto, High+, High, Normal, Low), i.e. more control for improving dynamic range, vs. ADL on/off in the D3200.nn(4) Less expensive: Save your money on the body and use it on the lenses - go for the 70-300mm/55-300mm zoom, or the 50mm/1.8G prime lens to complement the 18-55mm kit lens.nn(5) And of course, there's the flip-out screen in the D5100.
