Nikon Coolpix 3200 Review

- Nikon's 3.2-megapixel Coolpix 3200 is compact and light--it weighs just 6.7 ounces--and it's nicely designed for point-and-click simplicity. It has a slightly plastic look, but feels sturdy enough to resist any knocks it may receive on your travels. We found it very easy to grip, and its controls were simple to operate with one hand. In particular, composing our shots with the smooth and precise 3X zoom control was a breeze.

User Reviews for Nikon CoolPix 3200 Digital Camera

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Compact size is convenient

    Weaknesses: Poor picture quality

    Overall Evaluation: I have owned this camera for one year and the performance has been awful. I get better pictures with a $10 35mm camera I bought to keep on my boat in case it got wet. I first experienced problems when I tried to download pictures onto my computer. The camera would not download. I called Nikon and they told me to buy a card reader. Not much help there. I bought the card reader and was able to download. Unfortunatly the pictures were grainy and dull. I recently used the camera to take pictures on a vacation and the results were terrible. Don't buy this camera. I will never buy another Nikon product after this rip off.
