Receives second highest rating of APS-C reflex cameras.

The Nikon D3200’s great strength lies in its Sony CMOS sensor, starting with a record dynamic range that surpassed 13EV at 100 ISO, making the D3200 of great interest for landscape photography.
But the Nikon is also characterized by a high color depth of 24.1 bits, the best score of all the APS-C reflex cameras. It even does better than many full-frame cameras and is beaten only by medium-format cameras and the Nikon D4 and D3x.
As an APS-C, the Nikon D3200 offers very good image quality, despite its entry-level position. Through its design intended for amateurs, it retains a very small footprint (in part due to the removal of a second LCD display on top of the camera), and weighs in at only 550 grams (including battery and memory card). The instruction manual is enhanced with a more graphic presentation so as help photographers learn to use it on the fly. Moreover, the D3200 is a camera that can accompany a beginning photographer a long ways along the photo learning curve.
The Nikon D3200 combines all these qualities while addressing the general public at a very competitive price of $699.

Not too shabby for being an entry level camera.
