Nikon has today announced the arrival of their new D3200 entry-level DSLR camera, which is equipped with a 24-megapixel sensor, and builds on the features which Nikon included in their D3100 DSLR camera last year.
As well as a larger sensor, the Nikon D3200 also includes a high-ISO increase to 6400, and a newer Expeed 3 image processor that adds an extra frame per second, now making it 4 fps, to the D3200’s burst mode feature.
Enhanced Autofocus and Video Capabilities
The new Nikon D3200 is also equipped with an 11-point autofocus system with automatic scene recognition, ensuring that users can capture sharp and well-focused images even in challenging conditions. This advanced autofocus system is particularly beneficial for beginners who may not yet be adept at manual focusing techniques. The camera will capture 1080p video at both 24 fps and 30 fps with HDMI output, providing flexibility for different filming needs. Additionally, the inclusion of a new microphone-in port offers a large range of audio options for users, making it easier to capture high-quality sound to complement the high-definition video.
Wireless Connectivity and Remote Control
Nikon has also announced today the arrival of their new WU-1a wireless adapter that can remotely control the D3200’s shutter release at distances up to 49 feet from the camera. This feature is particularly useful for photographers who need to capture images from a distance, such as wildlife photographers or those shooting in a studio setting. The WU-1a wireless adapter currently only works with the new Nikon D3200 and will be available in May for $60. This adapter not only allows for remote shutter release but also enables users to transfer images wirelessly to their smartphones or tablets, making it easier to share photos on social media or with clients on the go.
The Nikon D3200 will be arriving in stores this month, for around $700, and comes supplied with an 18-55mm stabilized lens. This kit lens is versatile enough for a wide range of photography styles, from landscapes to portraits, making it an excellent choice for beginners who are just starting to explore the world of DSLR photography.
In addition to these features, the Nikon D3200 also boasts a range of in-camera editing options, allowing users to enhance their photos without the need for additional software. These editing tools include options for cropping, red-eye correction, and filter effects, providing a convenient way to improve images directly on the camera.
For those interested in expanding their photography skills, the Nikon D3200 offers a variety of scene modes and special effects. Scene modes such as portrait, landscape, and sports optimize the camera settings for different types of photography, while special effects like selective color and miniature effect allow users to get creative with their shots.
Overall, the Nikon D3200 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the D3100, offering enhanced image quality, improved performance, and a range of new features that make it an excellent choice for entry-level photographers. Whether you’re looking to capture stunning landscapes, beautiful portraits, or high-definition video, the D3200 provides the tools you need to take your photography to the next level.
