Description — Nikon Coolpix 3200
The Nikon COOLPIX 3200 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 3MP sensor delivering a maximum still image resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. Its body is built from plastic, measuring 88 x 65 x 38 mm and tipping the scales at just 201g, making it a genuinely portable option. Composition is assisted by both a 1.6-inch TFT LCD (80,000 dots) and an optical real-image tunnel viewfinder.
Autofocus uses a contrast detection system across 7 points for reliable, if straightforward, subject acquisition. The ISO range spans 50 to 200, best suited to outdoor and well-lit environments. Creative expression is supported through five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyan-type — while the built-in flash covers Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in, and Off modes.
Power comes from 2x AA or 1x CRV3 lithium batteries, rated for up to 320 shots. Storage options include SD card and internal storage, with USB connectivity for transfers. No image stabilization is present.
