NIKON D3200 Technical Specifications

NIKON D3200

The D3200 is an ultra lightweight DSLR. Weighing just 505 gm with the battery and memory card, this can be very handy for amateurs. However, professionals might find it a bit too light, especially while using the zoom lenses. There is a viewfinder as well as a threeinch LCD monitor, which you can use for live view and for shooting HD videos. The menu button is at the left of the LCD and is covers almost everything you want to do with the camera. But we would have liked one touch access to the ISO and White Balance - which you now have to select after clicking the Info button. We loved the fact that the LCD display changes orientation as you flip the camera around. However, we did not like the red body option, which has a very plasticky finish. The black body, of course, retains the traditional feel of a DSLR.
