I have had my little faithful point and shoot camera for FIVE years! That is a long time to have a camera these days, especially for someone who takes a bazillion pictures like me! I have priced out DSLRs and waited patiently for a couple years. In fact, I started this blog last November thinking my days with a DSLR were just around the corner. Nope. Did some other things with my moula and had to rebuild my savings.
I originally wanted a Nikon D5100.
But the D5100 was already replaced with the D5200.
*sigh*
And the D5200 was definitely beyond my price point.
*whimper*
The newer D3200 appeared on sale, dipping into the price point I was interested in!
So I compared.

Definitely comparable.
The big difference for me was the lack of the swivel screen but something I could live without.
Easily.
Then along came Black Friday.
The sweet deal I was watching like a hawk.

This baby was MINE!
Introducing, my first DSLR, the Nikon D3200.

Next up... how to use it, and all that jazz!
Congratulations on the camera! I received my dream camera last year for xmas, Canon 60D. Unfortunately it has never come off the automatic mode. I hope to change that in 2014! Shaunna
ReplyDeleteStill cannot believe you went with a Nikon!
ReplyDeleteShaunna, the 60D has a button in the middle that you have to push down to turn to the other modes. I recommend starting witht he 'P'. It's close to automatic except you can pick your own focal point. 60D is a nice camera.
