Questions & Answers

Sean G : Does this camera come with a DX or VX lens? Name says one thing and the picture shows the other. Can you use a DX lens on a VX camera?David O : The camera kit comes with a DX lens. No a DX lens should not be used on an FX camera.J. PATRICK T : A DX lense. I have never used a VX camera. The camera as shown works great!
FREDERICK M : Looking at black or red refurb...... My wedding on 13 Dec 2013.... better of the two?..... Looked at d3100 models and figured d3200 better?.... any pros or cons... Thanks, MICK need reply asap if possible......DAVID R : PRO- HIGHER PIXLE- MORE CAPABILITIES- EXCELLENT PICTURES TOOK WEDDING PICS AT MY SONS WEDDING. AWESOME !JOSH H : Mick, I bought this same camera about 8 months ago and have been SOOO pleased. The picture quality is incredible. We go the red and I love the color over plain black. It would take great wedding pictures. My only suggestion would be to add additional lighting if your setting is really dark.RICHARD B : Bought it for my DTR can't help you technically but she loves the red and no issues with the refurb. Good luckWILLIAM W : 24mp is better than 14mp, the low light noise is less intrusive because the pixels are smaller. And the photo can be cropped more without loss of detail, which means a regular shot can be cropped into a telephoto shot. Lower noise rating (higher useable ISO) takes better indoor shots. As for the red or black, I got the red so I could tell it was mine more easily. It is a dark red, not too flashy, and not girly.NATHAN K : Hi Mick, congrats on your upcoming event. To answer your question the d3200 is a fantastic camera and buying a refurb is a great deal., as far as specs you can look them up and compare but the 3200 model has 24.2 megapixels. That for me was a huge selling point. Amazing clarity and possibly the most user friendly cameras have ever come across. Almost a point and shoot dslr. For the value it can't be beat. Good luck finding red however! I hope this helped. JEREMY B : Red or Black.....it's the same camera. Yes the d3200 is better. I ,however, was not a fan of the 18-55 kit lens. It's a fairly simple camera to use, but you said you wanted it for your wedding....not quite sure what you mean by that. I pray that you are not planning on lugging it around during your reception! If you are looking at it as a gift to use then it is more than adequate for your honeymoon. Like I said before, you really haven't explained what you are planning to do with it. J. PATRICK T : The 3200 is a better camera. Black or red is your call. It seems to me that red has more sex appeal.JOHN P : I wish I could help more, this camera was requested by my daughter so I didn't even compare the two. But, congratulations on your wedding.
Jill W : If this is a refurbished camera, what exactly was refurbished? I'm leary of buying anything refurbished.STEPHEN H : My understanding is that a refurbished camera is a camera that is sent back to the manufacturer, such as a display model tha did not sell. It is checked/tested, cleaned, repaired (if necessary), and all missing accessories are replaced and all functions checked. The camera should be as good as new.J. PATRICK T : I don't know. The one I bought works just fine. A good buy for the money.JOSH H : This is the exact camera that I bought about 3 months ago. As far as I'm concerned it was brand new. I don't see any difference even though the price was cheaper and it said refurbished. It has been a GREAT camera!JOHN P : I can't honestly answer that question, I didn't think to ask something like that. I look at it as a new piece of equipment inspected twice for cheaper than brand new, and in most cases, same warranty. Hope this helps.TIMOFEY G : not quite sure, camera came in excellent condition, showed no wear or malfunction...maybe i got lucky? Anyways hoped this helped, and good luckKEVIN S : Hi. I was also leery of purchasing a refurbished camera. But I did for my wife this August and it came in a nice package and it has performed just as hey new one would be expected. I really am pleased with the great savings from purchasing the refurbished camera. Hope this helps you. I was very scared myself to buy something refurbished. But there was nothing wrong with it cosmetically and it has also worked flawlessly since the purchase in August of 2013. Still early to tell a longevity but no initial problems whatsoever thus far. Good luck. I know we save so much money with the refurbished route.we purchased the Nikon D 3200 and love it beautiful picturesJEREMY B : Could be anything. I haven't had mine long but it works perfectly! I used to be leary like you. To me refurb is actually better. It has been rebuilt as good as new. Doubt this is much help, but I wouldn't be scared of a refurb.

Trusted Supplier

I was looking for a used Nikon so I could attach to my long lens and take advantage of the crop factor. I almost bought something on Amazon but that can you always trust the supplier? By buying a refurbished Nikon from Adorama, I knew all would be well--and it has been.

refurb Nikon D3200

The camera looks brand new and works flawlessly. Very impresses. It was less expensive than getting my other D3200 repaired due to an accidental drop. Would get another refurbished camera again in the future. Camera came promptly.

The results are amazing

Purchased D3200 from Adorama at great price.Prompt delivery in excellent condition. Like new. The results are amazing with the new processor and 24mp resolution. I would recommend this as a best buy upgrade. Most people shoot new flowers. Here's what happens to the flowers after a couple of weeks. Love this camera. Mel

Great For Family vacation

For almost 2 years I have been using D3200 with both lenses 18-55 and 55-200 is has remarkable color caption when natural light is available. while in low light you will not get the best results but still it is in the good range. for this price you get very good results

Great basic camera

I would definitely recommend this camera. Easy to use, takes great pictures, accepts multitude of Nikon lenses. My primary camera is a D 300 that I bought new when they first came out. Still an outstanding camera.

Needed the megapixels

I have a couple of nice, older but expensive Nikon lenses and just needed more megapixels so my product photography could be blown up to a larger size. I don't do a huge amount of product photography so I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg but still wanted to use my good Nikon lenses. The Nikon D3200 did the trick for me. I set the new camera to ISO 100, blazed away and ended up with some very nice photos that can be blown up to wall sized graphics..

Great camera for the Great American Eclipse!

I ordered this wonderful camera just in time for the Great American Eclipse! It was at the perfect price point for me at the time and the camera worked flawlessly. Adorama provided excellent service. I highly recommend their refurbished stock as a very reasonable alternative to spending big bucks for a brand new camera. I attached two pictures of the eclipse I took with my beloved "new" camera from the Cherokee Reservation in NC.

Mi primera camara

La tengo desde hace casi tres años. Con ella he aprendido todo lo que se de fotografia. Con ella obtuve mi primer mención honorífica en un concurso fotográfico. La compre en un Black Friday, llegamos a las 11PM a Best Buy, buscandola. Cuando llegamos había tres disponibles, teníamos que comprar otros productos y al momento de pagar pagamos primero los otros. Al momento de pagar la cámara, la tarjeta se bloqueo. Una familia pasó con un empleado y el empleado vio el carrito con la cámara y dijo "Ahí está la última". Era la ultima Nikon D3200 en toda la ciudad. Nos quedamos ahí hasta las 7 de la mañana del siguiente dia para poder llamar al banco, nos turnamos para ir a dormir, comer, etc. Tengo historia con esa cámara, un lazo emocional.

Very Nice DSLR to start with

I was using fixed lens super zoom cameras but then needed to upgrade again due to my photography expanding more and chose this as my first DSLR with the 18-55mm kit lens that came with it. I have since purchased the 55-300mm lens for it and am really satisfied. Now I am looking at more equipment again since joining a local photography club now.

You get what you pay for

I bought this some time ago at a refurbished price. It seemed fast and quiet, which I liked for photographing animals -- my higher end DSLR made considerably more noise. When the SD card jammed in the slot, I had quite a time to remove it. And then I could not get the camera to hold the SD card in place. Following up with a repairman who came highly recommended, I was told the repair would be expensive and that Nikon's low end has seen a great deteriorization in quality. I treated it with great care. I would how many times a given D3200 for sale has been refurbished.

Very decent for price, overall good camera and kit

The D3200 is a very decent camera for those who are just getting into the DSLRs. It has almost everything that is necessary to take good photos, and its image quality is more than ample for most amateurs and semi-pros. I personally have taken over 10,000 pictures with my D3200 and I have not had many issues, however I have had a very minor bug that is intermittent, but it has had minimal impact and I simply believe that it is present only in my individual camera (only reason this is not a 5 star). It does not have all of the accessories of the newer and more expensive models, like a swivel touch screen, but it performs incredibly well without them and does what a camera is meant to do, and it does it well. The live view mode auto-focus is a bit slow, but that is expected in most DSLRs without dedicated video focus sensors. The lenses themselves are adequate for the casual user, but would recommend upgrading to better quality lenses if you wish to go further into the hobby. The 18-55mm lens gives reasonably good images, with some noticeable distortion on the extremes of the lens. The 55-200mm lens seems to have issues with blur caused by camera shake at moderate shutter speeds (due to lack of VR), and would recommend a tripod for this particular lens. This lens also has some distortion on its extremes, but not extremely noticeable to casual users. Both lenses are a bit lacking on contrast and saturation, but can be corrected with post-processing, and is not extremely noticeable to casual users, especially with the processing done with the jpeg software inside the camera. The handbag is excellent, with several storage sections for accessories and the manual; would recommend getting a larger bag if you plan on purchasing larger accessories.

Great camera

I've been using Nikon SLR cameras since 1978 and added the D3200 2-1/2 years ago. It has great picture quality and easy to navigate settings. It has multiple focus settings that allow for nearly any situation. It can be used in fully automatic mode, manual mode and several modes that fall in between. It's ISO range is adequate for most any lighting. It is light and easy to handle. I often leave my larger Nikon cameras in the bag and carry this one because of its compact size and light weight. The DX format offers affordable, quality lens options for the amateur enthusiast. I added a D7200 a few months ago and interchange lenses back and forth. A nice thing when considering a camera that you may upgrade someday.

D3200 lightweight and adequate

Refurbished body was fine and camera operated properly. I usually shoot with D300, but wanted a lighter weight body for some situations. D3200 is good for this, however it does not auto focus with my Nikon Fisheye10.5 mm 1:2.8 G nor will it autofocus with my Tamron 200-400 1: 5.6. Both of these lenses autofocus with the D300. This was not made known to me in the ad or phone call.

Awesome entry-level DSLR!

I received the D3200 18-55mm VR kit for my birthday last year, and this camera is perfect for those starting out in photography. The controls are very easy to use, the menu layout is very easy to navigate, it's compact and light enough to carry in a small shoulder bag with two lenses and a few accessories, and is very easy to set up and configure quickly for different photographic occasions. The only downside is that the D3200 can NOT autofocus with a standard AF Nikkor lens; it can autofocus ONLY with an AF-S Nikkor lens. It produces sharp, natural, vivid photographs every time I use it.

A very good camera

I bought it because I wanted to make a leap in digital cameras, pass my Nikon 1 J1 to the Nikon D3200 was a very good choice. A powerful camera to its range. Its dynamic range and color depth is optimal, together with its 24 megapixel camera has given me excellent results in my work as an advertising photographer.

I'm so glad I got this camera, it has really helped expand my knowledge of photography!! It took a while playing around with different the iso, shutter speed and aperture settings, but once I got that down i was able to create beautiful pictures. It has really has made my love for photography a lot bigger!

Disappointed

I ordered this camera as a second to my D7000. I knew it was refurbished by Nikon so I expected it would be OK. The battery arrived totally dead and the battery charger was inoperable. I truly expected more from Nikon! The box the camera arrived in had the entire lid torn off so the camera was basically sitting in the open box although it was packed in a bigger box. Very shoddy work. I won't be buy any more refurbished merchandise any time ever.

Great camera for the price

I received my camera about a week after ordering. I placed my order during the Christmas rush so it was to be expected. Once I received my camera, which came via USPS without a signature, so make sure you are home the day it is due to be delivered. I excited opened the box and read all the materials that came with my new equipment. The camera was very well packaged and safely double wrapped in bubble wrap. I started using it immediately, taking photos of my little fur babies. For a refurbished, it works like a dream. No scratches or any signs of use. Excellent battery life. This is a perfect camera for a starter DSLR or just a good quality camera for family vacations. Highly recommended.

Excellent value and image quality

Purchased this kit as a request for a small camera with interchangeable lenses. The other option was going mirrorless and buy a different brand. After discussing the true weight of both systems, this is the best startup kit for future upgrading. One of the criteria was the flash system and having 30+ years experience with Nikon cameras and flash (I'm a big flash person), you can't get the accuracy in quick situations with any other brand camera/flash system. We used my SB910 for the flash pictures and I recommended the SB500 as a starter flash. Remember this is a compact entry level camera and does not have some of the menu options or features of more expensive cameras.

Excellent for Experienced photographers and new!

I bought the Nikon D3200, just getting into photography, and I had heard that the D3200 was great for beginners. They were right! This camera is easy to use whether you're experienced or just touching a DSLR for the first time and is even EASIER to use thanks to its integrated GUIDE mode. It is a very affordable DSLR and one of the bigger things that sold me about it, is that it has a mic input which I like because I often use it to shoot video.

Great beginner lense

I developed an interest in photography and received this camera and both lenses for my 15th birthday. It has fulfilled all of my expectations and does everything I need it to do. I mostly take outdoor shots -- flowers, trees, landscapes, etc. -- a lot of magnification, which it does wonders with. Images are sharp and clean and the color and background blur are phenomenal. It's easy to focus and achieve desired results.

Great Camera for a Novice Like Me!

I purchased this camera to step my game up. I own a Coolpix and like it but wanted more natural looking pictures. I must admit it is little more work but it pays off in the long run. The pics come out great and are more detailed. Makes for better prints. I am by no means a professional but this camera helps me along the way.

With a tripod, remote control and these basic lenses it's enough to start in this beautiful world of photography.
