Nikon Coolpix 3200 Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 4.00 (out of 10)
The Nikon Coolpix 3200 is a decent point-and-shoot camera, but I found it lacking in two important areas. The first is noise, especially indoors where the lighting isn't great. This is due to the auto ISO system that most Nikon point-and-shoots have. The redeye test and this picture are great examples of the noise problem. For shots taken outdoors or in good lighting, the noise levels are acceptable. The other issue I had, which affects those who want to take action photos, is the shot-to-shot speed. You can quickly fire off two shots, but then you need to wait several seconds for the buffer memory to be cleared. A related issue is that you can't do anything while the camera is finishing savings an image to the memory card.

The Nikon Coolpix 3200 is the latest in a long line of Coolpix digital cameras whose popularity stretches back to the original Coolpix 900, Nikon's original "breakthrough" digicam. While Nikon is best known for exceptional high-end cameras and optics, in recent years, they've turned increasing attention to the needs of ordinary people, rather than exclusively those of the enthusiast crowd......

The Nikon Coolpix 3200 is definitely a camera intended for the point-and-shoot market, having both prevalent automatic control and the low price of $199.95. This camera would be perfectly suited to a user seeking a first digital camera or one who is worried about overwhelmingly complex menus or other features. It does have a 3.2-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom, making it highly comparable to other cameras within its price range.
