Great entry level DSLR. What package does it come with because it can be had for at least $100 less online.

Just bought a bundle on Amazon with Bag & Memory Card for $430.

Easy to use, and feels very solid. Everything I read was very positively reviewed, especially for a beginners camera.

It come with 2 lenses? If so, that's a good deal.

Buy from B&H or 47th Street online. Absolutely no warranty concerns with authorized dealers.

Got the D3200 last month from ebay that had a shitload of accessories and lenses plus the camera for $329. Wife is primary user and she loves it for her daily use of clothing photos.

Very good camera. Get you a 35 or 50mm 1.8g prime, tripod and remote and you are set for almost everything.

I'll say this; you just can't beat a Nixon dslr. Even the cheapest will produce gorgeous images.
Not sure about Sam's being an authorized dealer. Check best buy or an online retailer like b&h or adorama. They've been in business for generations.

I got a 3200 about 2 years ago and love it. Very easy to use and takes great photos. Bought from B&H.

I ended up getting the canon t5i personally. No real reason the Nikon on paper is a better camera but I felt like the canon was a better product holding it in my hand. Also family members preferred cannon and I could use their lenses if I wanted to try before I buy

You ever get anything? If not, I have a Nikon D5200 with carry bag, charger, 18mm - 55mm lens, 55mm - 200mm lens, polaroid filter, Wi-Fi and the original packaging. I purchased it in January a year ago for my daughter, but her music and modeling career is taking off and she doesn't have time for photography work. I'd estimate it's been out of this house and out of her closet maybe five or six times. Will work with you on price if interested. Let me know here and I'll share an email.

Thanks. It was an afterthought on selling it. Might sell. Might not.

If the bug bites, you need to be aware of G.A.S. It has ruined many marriages, resulted in bankruptcies, and lost homes.

Yes. I'm talking about Gear Acquisition Syndrome. First it's a 50mm prime. Then you need the 2.8 mid range zoom. Then you need the tank: 70-200 2.8 zoom. Oh wait, the flash on this camera is really inadequate, so you'll get the SB-700 flash. Next, comes the battery grip, and the tripod. Oh, wait, filters. at about $100 a pop for a decent one.

Yep. Now you're ready to upgrade to a better camera body. Minimum of $1000. Probably more.

It never ends.

However, you do need to buy this book:




Good luck.
