Si estas buscando una cámara para iniciarte en la fotografía o simplemente obtener buenas imágenes esta es la cámara perfecta. La duración de la batería me ha sorprendido, la he usado en viajes una y otra vez y nunca me he quedado colgado sin batería. Definitivamente una gran compra!

I've had this camera for a little over a year and I can say hands down its one of the best cameras I have ever owned! I'm a self-employed videographer that recently entered the world of professional photography. Being on a small budget as an aspiring photographer, I find that this camera perfectly meets my needs, earning me some good quality photos and income without costing me a fortune. At first, I was an average camera user until my regular digital camera died on me. At that time, I was asked by clients if I do photography and so I said yes, and from there, I taught myself professional photography in just a few weeks on this wonderful Nikon series camera. What's amazing is that I've bought this Nikon D3200 and using this for the first time, I must say it made a great first impression on me. PERFORMANCE: 5/5 Nikon D3200 features great image quality with 24.2MP and a great ISO. It has a pretty fast shutter speed and it is great to be able to switch between manual and automatic controls. Image quality: 5/5 Overall, good image depending on the lighting environment. Photo quality is great under a well-lit atmosphere using the built-in flash but I recommend using an external flash. Images aren't quite Paparazzi-worthy but the photos this camera takes will blow you away, nonetheless. It's a great camera for a first-time photographer looking to get their start as a professional. I'd recommend you use more than just the stock included OEM camera lens. I recommend zoom lenses and fish-eye lenses for this camera to create more eye-catching stunning photos. This camera is great for the beginner and intermediate, alike. But if you want to go bigger, do so. If you're a full-blown professional, more than likely, you'll buy a more expensive camera. The average price of this camera currently at the time of writing this review is $300. Professionals usually invest $900+ in their camera. But cost isn't everything. Each photographer must carefully consider a camera not just because its high price but consider image quality and other functionality. BATTERY LIFE: 5/5 Battery life is impressive, to my standards. But as with anything, battery life always depends how much a device is used and what settings are used. Usually, I use this camera for weddings and receptions. I take an average of 300-500 photos per event day so using the camera from 1PM until about 11PM, I'm able to use this camera the entire event day without charging the factory OEM battery. (*Note: I usually do not use the flash for about 100 photos, as they are outdoor daylight photos. The rest of the photos are indoor photos.) WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT: Small minor issue but I wish that DSLRs like these featured internal memory storage, instead of just relying on only external SD cards.

Excelente cámara para iniciarse

Excelente camara para alguien que es amateur en el mundo de la fotografia, muy entendible todo y es compacta y casi no pesa.

I have been an avid amateur photographer since I was young. For many years I used various 35mm cameras and one medium format one that take film. I took thousands of slides and pictures. When digital started with Sony floppy disk cameras I bought one. I used the digital cameras with my work in heavy machines. I graduated to more Sony digitals. I always had high end phones, and those started having better and better digital cameras. I never got rid of my favorite film cameras. These include a 1953 Voightlander Prominent, Olympus OM2n, Olympus XA, Olympus Stylus. I learned to edit pictures early on using Photoshop. I have used Picasa since introduced. I really like Picasa as it is OK for the thousands of pictures of machines I need to quickly edit and add to web sites. Recently I have started using iPhoto. iPhoto IMHO is much more capable than Picasa. I stopped using film a few years back and have started back using film in the last two years. I started to try and get better pictures with my digital compact and phone cameras. Those work well with scenery pictures at a mid level of quality, but were hopeless taking pictures of pets or children or any action. When I saw the Olympus OMD in chrome I immediately wanted one of those. Looked my my 1980 Olympus OM2n which I have always thought was just about a perfect camera and beautiful. Mine works perfectly after 33 years BTW. So I did months of research on the OMD and then tried to see and hold one in person. There is only one Olympus dealer in San Diego and they kept selling out of them. Once I got to see a black OMD but no chrome. Then Oly started the on again off again sales. I was pressured by going on a long trip last summer so I wanted to get a new DSLR. This was complicated by the fact that Olympus is a smaller sensor format that not everyone likes. No actual live viewfinder. And it costs a lot more than Nikon 3200. The other camera I considered extensively was the Sony Nex 6. In the past I had only bought Sony digitals and consider them a superior product. The Nex 6 was less money than the Olympus OMD. What turned me towards the Nikon was recommendations. On line recommenders like Nikons. The Sony early last summer had a limited selection of lenses like the ones I wanted. Olympus had want I wanted, but I never could hold one in my hands and it was twice the price of the Nikon 3200. I drove several times to the local camera store to see the Olympus, but no luck. So I ordered the Nikon and two additional lens from Amazon. As usual Amazon delivered everything fast and in perfect condition. The Nikon has worked flawlessly from day 1. The 3200 is fairly easy to learn. The adjustments and controls take a little time to get used to but are relatively easy. It takes very good digital pictures without much effort. Those who just want to take pictures that are pretty good should just take the standard 18-55mm lens with image stabilization and leave it at that. It works fine for pictures blown up on my 27" computer monitor. The only annoying thing is that with a lens as slow as this one the built in flash is always popping up. Even in shots that don't need a flash. So I find myself setting the camera flash off frequently. I have not used the two additional lenses I bought much. The longer lens a few times for distant scenery. I thought I would use the much faster 35mm lens all the time. So far that is not the case. Before I bought it I did not notice that the 35mm lens did not have image stabilization. When I have used it that has not been an issue. I come from many cameras that did not have IS and always instinctively hold my breath and stay still when shooting. The Nikon is much larger than my Olympus OM2. I would prefer the OM2 size. But I find the 3200 very comfortable in my hands. Yes it is big, but the size and weight works well. It is a plastic camera. It is well made but very plastic. Much more so than my last Sony compact camera. The Sony has a much more pleasing quality look to it. The comparison between the Voightlander or OM2 in quality appearance and feel is vast. In the distant past I owned a Nikon FM SLR and can attest that Nikon knows how to make a very high quality look and feel camera. The Nikon is not cheap plastic feeling, but rubberized sorta cheap plastic feeling. If you really like Apple products like Mac Books, iPhones, iPads you may not like this product. It is in no way a jewell like thing of beauty like Apple products. But it takes very good pictures easily. It focuses fairly quickly and comes up with very good color balanced shots on automatic. It has a small view finder. Much much much smaller and less useful than my 33 year old Olympus. For me the viewfinder size and lack of light is the worst feature. I have most of my film cameras on display in a glass cabinet in my office. The Voightlander is a thing of beauty. It still works well after 60 years. The last time it was cleaned and worked on was 1979. It is hard to use. Mostly because of it's small and dull view finder. Maybe some day I will buy a Leica M3 for the finder. The metal working and gorgeous glass lenses on the Voightlander put a smile on my face just holding it in my eye or hand. The Olympus OM2n is only slightly less so. The metal on the Oly is not as nice but the Olympus easy operation makes up for it. Both the Voightlander and the Olympus are about the same size. The Nikon 3200 as a tool to take pictures is a good camera. The shots I have taken with it at the highest settings on the sharpest (35mm) lens are very good. They are not as good as shots taken with my OM2 and it's 50mm lens with good film in color or detail. However, the Nikon is much easier to use and get good shots with. But I feel absolutely no passion for the 3200 and good photography demands passion.
