hey guys this is Austin and today you hear the review of the Nikon d3200 with 24 megapixels in 1080p video with full manual control all in a small package this has a lot going for it but is it worth it over the d30 100 or d50 100 taking a look around the d3 200 you can see that it looks very similar to its predecessor I've already done a full comparison between the two cameras if you want to check that out but the gist of it is you can expect solid ergonomics and build quality as you would expect with a Nikon DSLR it's still made entirely out of plastic and it's not weather sealed like the d7000 by considering the much cheaper price tag it's not a surprise and just still hold up fine with normal usage around back as the new 3-inch 921,000 dot LCD which matches the resolution on the 3.2 inch screens on the d4 and the d800 this is a huge help when shooting in life you because manual focus is much easier with the added clarity there's also a new accessory you can pick out which will give the camera Wi-Fi capability for transferring pictures and video as well as letting you control the camera from your smartphone probably the most important part of any DSLR is the image quality and the D 3200 definitely doesn't disappoint here with 24 megapixels at your disposal you have a lot of room for cropping images which gives you a lot of extra freedom in addition it also works for allowing you to change your framing after the fact a lot losing precious resolution I really found myself enjoying shooting with the D 3200 because of this being able to resolve that much detail really is impressive for a $700 camera a lot of people complain when the d3200 was announced that having so many megapixels would compromise the low-light capability but overall iso performance is very similar to the d 3100 noise is hardly distinguishable up to iso 400 and even moving up to 800 noise is still fairly well maintained ISO 1600 was about as high as I felt comfortable shooting here noise is fairly visible even without cropping and colors and detail begin to fade just a bit but the files are still usable 3200 doesn't lose too much more detail but noise is more prevalent and 6400 is really only good for resizing the photos down for web use you can't expand the ISO to 12,800 but well don't do that if you don't have to wear the D 3200 really shines as in video mode I shoot hours the video on a DSLR a week and I've been very pleased with the D 3200 you choose 1080p video at 30 frames per second or 720p at 60 frames in h.264 at around 21 megabits per second at 1080p as you would expect video looks really quite nice from the aps-c sensor with good depth of field and great color the kit lens works fine here although I do most of my shooting with prime lenses which will definitely give you better results all right so I'm now recording using the Nikon G 3200 so this is pretty much totally stock I'm using the 1855 millimeter kit lens and I'm also using the built-in microphone which I might add is actually not half bad at all so one of the greatest things about the D 3200 is that you can manually adjust your video super example while I'm recording I can go up to ISO 400 or 800 and I'll still go ahead and adjust my shutter speed to kind of compensate for that and again bring the ISO back down change the shutter speed all that kind of good stuff is very very easy to do while recording on top of that it also does have auto focus during video modes so if I half press the shutter C it should auto focus on the grass and then you can use the d-pad on the back of the camera to just exactly where you want to focus and get one half press one more time it'll just quite right here it's not quite the best especially with the kit lens but there we go so pretty decent job there now the autofocus isn't great it's definitely nice to have but as you can hear it's a little bit loud and you since you have to half press the shutter each time it's not going to be continuous the D 3200 also has a microphone jack which is helpful when you're out on a shoot although I personally prefer to use external audio it is a nice option have a very nice feature is that you can manually adjust your audio levels as well as display your levels on screen as you record with full manual control over the 1080p video audio in width level adjustment and the low-light performance and depth of field this is one of the strongest Nikon cameras for video to date overall the Nikon d3200 is an excellent DSLR and a considerable improvement over the already great D 3100 the megapixel count is second only to the d800 and a Nikon range a camera that cost four times as much ISO performance is reasonable bill quality is top-notch and the video mode is a massive improvement for $700 I can safely recommend this to anyone who's looking for an entry-level DSLR the stands right up there with the Canon t3i interested in more coverage of the d3 200 feel free to check out my unboxing as well as the comparison with the D 3100 if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe
