Reviewing the Nikon D3200

The Nikon D3200. Where do I start? This camera has everything you need. If you want to know the details, keep on reading.

       Nikon itself is a fantastic company. It sells anything from digital cameras to microphones to scientific instruments, what have you. They have it all. Another company quite like Nikon, is Canon. Many choose Canon over Nikon, but I don't see why. They both have amazing camera and lens choices. Although I still really like Canon, I do think that Nikon is a bit underrated. Nikon has a huge variety of lenses which match all your needs. I suggest checking their website right now, actually. :-)

       Onto the review. I like the Nikon D3200 because it has great quality. There is uncannily good quality even in video; 1080p! The photos themselves have great quality, and it shows very nicely.

       Another reason why I like the Nikon D3200 is because of the design. It is not big and bulky like other DSLR cameras. It is portable and easy to carry anywhere you go. You don't have to compromise on quality for size. It's got it all in the little body. The nikon D3200 can take those professional-looking photos without the confusing and expensive cameras.

       The Nikon D3200 is equipped with in-camera editing options. You can crop photos, add a fisheye effect, maybe even crop movies all inside the camera. You can also download the program ViewNX 2 (comes in the kit) to edit movies and add filters to your photos.

       Overall, I think the Nikon D3200 is a great camera for bringing anywhere. It is portable, has great quality and has great options. If you have any questions about the Nikon D3200, please comment and I would be happy to answer! :)

The Long, Long Story of Buying my Camera

I got a new camera for my birthday.
There's a whole story behind it, and here's how it goes.
       I was planning to order the camera with a travel bag and a LensPen (a utensil used for cleaning the lens) in store at BestBuy. It was a few days before Christmas, and I had received a flyer with the Boxing Day sales. There was a surprisingly low price. My dad had found out about this, and told me to get it on Christmas Eve in store. He told me to buy it on his credit card. You see, he was on the other side of the world, giving me specific instructions through Skype calls. So, he told me to go to BestBuy as soon as it opened and buy the whole kit, bag, LensPen and all. And that's exactly what I did.
       On Christmas Eve, I woke up earlier than usual, eager to be the first to purchase the Nikon D3200. As soon as the doors opened, I rushed to the DSLR camera section to look for what I needed. After a few minutes of frantic searching (I really wanted this camera),  I found a few stacked upon one another. I read the box carefully, making sure this was the right one. I was so excited, I just grabbed one and told my mom to buy it with my dad's credit card. But then I looked at the price. $599.00. This was too much, the flyer had said $399.00! I was confused. Then it dawned on me, this deal was way too good to be true. I used my mom's phone to check the flyer again, to make sure we hadn't missed anything important. And right there it said in what seemed to now be humongous letters "Online Flyer Sale". I felt like face-palming until my head fell off. I put the camera back, feeling disappointed. We walked out of the store, super embarrassed.
       I ordered the camera later that day (online) and was told that I had to wait four days. Now, four days is not a lot of time, but when you were expecting your camera that exact day, it feels long.
       After it FINALLY arrived in the mail (I was practically crying) I opened it up and took so many photos. Now that I think about it, it was definitely worth the wait of four days!
