| Chronology | |
| Predecessor | Nikon D3100 |
| Successor | Nikon D3300 |
The Nikon D3200 is a 24.2-megapixel[3] DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount camera officially launched by Nikon on April 19, 2012. It is marketed as an entry-level DSLR camera for beginners and experienced DSLR hobbyists who are ready for more advanced specs and performance.
The guide mode, with integrated tutorials, is especially useful for beginners.[4] The D3200 replaces the D3100 as Nikon's entry level DSLR, but its improved image quality has been compared to that of pro DSLRs.[5] Based on DxOMark, the Nikon D3200 entry-level crop DSLR surpassed the DxOMark Overall Sensor Score of the fullframe Canon EOS 5D Mark II, although 5D Mark II was state-of-the-art when it was launched four years before.[6]
Its successor is the Nikon D3300 announced in January 2014 with new Nikon Expeed 4 image processor, without optical low pass filter (OLPF), 5 fps and the Nikon's first DSLR camera with Easy (sweep) Panorama. As in the Nikon D5300, the carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer body and also the new retractable kit lens makes it smaller and lighter.[7]

- ^ Nikon (among other manufacturers) counts the sub-pixels of each pixel, i.e. the red, green, and blue channel of each pixel, and therefore specifies the rear display to have 307,200 [pixels] × 3 [colors] = 921,600 or ca. 921,000 dots.
