Official Nikon D3200 topic
  • image

    Nikon D3200 offers the full HD experience of high quality 1080p video. Users can create memorable, cinematic quality videos at 24 or 30 fps and easily share HD content online with friends and family or on their own HDTV via the HDMI output.

    Continuing down the path that its predecessor, the Nikon D3100, started, the D3200 implements full-time AF during video recording to help capture crisp video even during the most action-packed situations. To boost the production value of any home video, the camera offers manual or automatic exposure control, and a stereo microphone input to attach an optional external microphone such as the compact ME-1 Stereo Microphone. Furthermore, the D3200 offers other HD-SLR advantages including the ability to create a shallow depth of field, amazing low-light video performance and NIKKOR lens versatility.

    Capturing videos on the D3200 is simple, even when in Live View. With a dedicated video record button and easy access to the Live View switch, users can capture video clips before the moment is gone. Additionally, videos play with astonishing detail and clarity on the D3200’s 3-inch, high resolution 921,000-dot LCD screen.

    • Resolutions - 1920 x 1080 (30,25, 24 fps), 1280 x 720 (60, 50 fps), 640 x 424 (30, 25 fps
    • Format - H.264
    • Manual control

  • Is the HDMI clean?

  • @Brian202020

    Have no idea, we'll know soon.

    But most probably it is interlaced :-)

  • D3200 - 24M pixels, 12-bit sensor, 1080p24/25/30, 720p50/60

    D5100 - 16M pixels, 14-bit sensor, 1080p24/25/30, 720p24/25/30

    No histogram or exposure meter in Live View mode on either model...

  • @Vitaliy If it is clean this could be a better solution than the GH2 to people with external recorders, and some, like the Ninja, can remove pulldown, so interlaced might not be a big deal.

  • but its still line skipping same as nex 7 ... its not NIKON fault but i dont think that SONY would sell them sensor with pixel binning ...

  • Red only? I refuse to buy it till they come up with Hello Kitty Edition.

  • Looks like they are following some trends, with this Wi-Fi adaptor with Android app...

  • will the Active D-Lighting work for video for an improvement in dynamic range?

    on vimeo:

  • I've read that video is similar to D800, same processing behind.

  • Waking this up a little. I purchased the D3200 out of curiosity. Must say it has been a positive surprise. Moire and aliasing are there - but less than any Sony DSLR I've had. Below is just a rough test of a shot I tested to see how it performed regarding DR and sharpness as referenced against a hacked GH2. One thing is good with the Nikon also is that you can dial in a pretty flat image and thereby make use of alot of the 13+ stops DR.

  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev The firmware for D3200 is out now. Any chance of a bitrate hack or, if that's even possible, a fix for the strange low light flicker? Or any other hacks in plan for this camera? Thank you. :)
