I love that at 4:28 there's a truck driving past that says “DX” on the side. You couldn’t have planned that better for a video about the D3200! I still have mine and use it regularly with the 35MM 1.8 as well as the kit lens. They ARE cool! 😎👍
I got my d3200 10 years ago and the 35mm lens not long after… I was devastated a few months ago when I realised the autofocus motor was dead X[ I just got another off eBay so we’ll see if I wreck that as well!
The D3200 is still a perfect camera for simple photography. With a bright lens, it's great for portraits, landscapes, macro, but it's also good for simple filming from a good video tripod. My first dslr camera, but I still use it to this day alongside my Nikon Z50 and still love it!
I remember the D3200 launch, I used to work in camera shops and would recommend it all the time for beginner photographers ha! I agree with the other comments here too, doesn't matter what gear you have it's the ability to take great photos. Love these shots, the lady on the bridge seemed so nice!
Before I went to the Nikon d600 I had the d3300 for about a year and absolutely loved it. Using this camera felt very familiar, but after using the Sony's and my wife's Canon with the Dpaf, the af on it was frustrating at times. That lady was ace! Interactions like that make me smile 😁 Thanks for watching, Courtney 🖖😁
Great video David and awesome to see the D3200 I use. I have a D3200, it was my first DSLR. Crackin' images you got with it here. I think you've inspired me to get it out and do a landscape vlog with it. Great cameras, loved the images I used to get with it. Thanks for the inspiration mate!
Thanks for watching, mate. After being used to Sony af, it was a bit frustrating at times but it was great to use a Nikon again. You should definitely give it a run out, mate. I'd love to see what you get with it. Take care, Paul🖖😁
It’s always good to use old DSLR these days because at the end it’s a camera and with any camera Street Photography can be done I did buy an old Nikon D70S again lately because i used to have it back in the days and it was the first DSLR I have ever used I loved that camera and the feel of carrying it was amazing I do shoot with Sony and Fuji and Canon but sometimes as they say old is gold I still have to buy a cheap 50 mm Nikon or a yongnuo 50mm nikon so I can use it with the D70S It will be nice if you can another pov with this D3200 using a cheap 50 mm Thank You man Keep Shooting on the streets
I loved my Nikon d70. Such a cool camera. I shot Nikon for years so I'll always have a soft spot for them regardless of how uncool they are😂 I would like to get a couple of different cameras all with 50's. I think the Canon 5d classic is first on my list👍 Thanks for watching 🖖

ok so I've been dicking around with photography for about 20 years now, and had a DSLR for 10 years. I've been faffing about in Lightroom a long long time to try and edit my pics, but never with any serious effort. Last week I did as you suggested and grabbed those free seasonal presets from your website and the difference it's made to some of my shots is incredible. sometimes its like clicking a magic "make my pictures suck less" button, and its made me realise that I know absolutely nothing about processing my digital images. anyway just wanted to say thanks for opening my eyes with those presets and making me want to dig into this witchcraft even more
First of all “dicking around” is a phrase I’ll be using from now on 😂 secondly if you want to dig into the editing a bit more, try localised edits. Take the clearly autumn preset which is my most used in that pack, dial it back to about 50% and then start poking around at specific areas, but keep it subtle. A light vignette, a bit of brightening on a focal point etc. all things like that allow to somewhat reshape the light and make your images pop. I think the key to all editing is to keep it subtle unless it’s a stylistic choice. Have a good one🖖😁
@@DavidFlowerOfficial see what I mean? this is all a bit over my head. digital painting and drawing is a bit simpler 😅thanks for the tips, time to do some more research!
@@DavidFlowerOfficial David, can you do a video explaining how to use the aperture, ISO and shutter speed at different times of the day with the nikon d 3200 🖤
I can make that video, but not with that camera as it belonged to a friend. Settings like that are gonna be the same no matter what camera so I'll put it on the list of videos 🖖
Nice video!!! Two questions ? 1. You shooting raw or jpeg ? If you shoot jpeg what settings you use in image control profile ? 2. What method of focus use?
Hey, thanks for watching! I always shoot raw so I have the most options if I choose to edit and if I remember correctly it was matrix metering, centre focus and af-s focus mode🖖
It gets the work done but comes with a lot of limitations... The focus point being the weak note .. I'm considering on switching to Sony Alpha 6000 or 6100 ... Or a canon EOS M50 ... If you can suggest me a better Nikon camera with more focus points on a budget... I prefer Nikon but my current has lots of limitations due to it being a very low budget camera Also I don't see Nikon releasing any mid ranged dslr/mirrorless anymore
One of the reasons I switched from Nikon to Sony was the af. Even the older Sony's like the a6000 are so much better because of pdaf. There will be no more DSLRs from Nikon or anyone else and since canon announced the R7 and R10 that all but confirms the Eos M system is dead. I don't mind the limitations of the older cameras as it causes you to slow down and be more intentional. I know I can get higher resolution images with the a6000 with more reliable af, but I still enjoy using the old canon 400d and 40d. Thanks for watching 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thanks for the information... I might get the Sony Alpha 6000... The D3300 has far too much limitations when clicking events that are at motion and low light because of slow focus and low focus points..
@madarauchha9257 The lens is more important than the camera for portrait work. Popular lenses are fast primes like the 35mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8 and with those lenses you can absolutely use the D3200 for portraits
@@DavidFlowerOfficial sir i wan to ask something, which is better between canon eos 700d and nikon d3200? this two camera is same price ,but nikon got two lens Nikkor kit lens 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 and Nikkor lens 50mm f1.8
That’s wild. I’ve had this camera for a decade and I don’t think I’ve gotten anything as good as this out of it. I am aware the problem is behind the camera! Do you think the 18-105mm lens is still good value or are there similar ones for the price that would work better? (I’m still using the kit lens, 55-200 zoom and 35mm f1.8)
I don’t remember what I used in this video, but I don’t think a wide range zoom is ever a bad idea, especially if you like to shoot a variety of subjects. Couple that with your 35mm f1.8 (I loved that lens when I shot Nikon) and I think you’ll be good. Thanks for watching 🖖
had this camera since 2014 and the kit lins came along with it the autofocus stops working and i plan to buy a new lens what lens should i buy? kind of interested in portrait shots for now
If it's specifically portraits you aim to shoot maybe the 35mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.8 for Nikon. I owned both of these lenses and they're great and relatively affordable too. Thanks for watching 🖖
In 2024, does any one recommend the Nikon 3200 or instead invest on an iPhone 12? I am a bigger but I really want invest in something that will provide me the best quality in those two! Please someone guide me 😢
Camera all day everyday for superior image quality, but for you personally it will depend on how and what you want to shoot. If you feel like what the iPhone offers is good enough for your needs, then that’s the one for you. If you want to learn photography or expand your skills and try different kinds of photography like wildlife, macro etc, the Nikon will be the far better tool. Hope that helps🖖😁
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thanks sir i just bought a d3200 and am learning how to shoot. I consulted your editing method and found it very helpful. thank you very much
I will never love that camera for the fact I had a bad experience with the colors at low ligth condition during a wedding but great image quality for day light...I just do photography fro fun but a pro comfirmed after putting the lame oon me and realized that was a horrible camera if someone need it for artificial light
I shot Nikon for my professional work for over a decade and never had any issues with my D800 and D600 bodies in terms of colour. With that said I always shoot raw so the files are very flexible even on this old d3200. I'm a control freak when it comes to cameras so I dial in everything manually though, maybe that's why I never had issues😂 Thanks for watching 🖖
Yep nikons good quality 👌 I use the d3100 and the 30mm 1.8g love it 😀 a also shoot with a6000 and a7s too and the carl zeiss zebra is a great lens one my favourites keep up good work carnt wait for next vid 😀 👍
Thanks very much, Richard. That adapter I bought was kinda rubbish, but I'm looking forward to shooting with it more on the Sony's. Have a great day 🖖😁
Honestly I'm not sure. I gave the d3200 back to my mate so I can't even test it. I use Urth adapters for the Sony and they're always good. It was the glass in that cheap adapter that was the issue. It wasn't too bad as long as I avoided direct light.
Though I don‘t have enough money to buy the newest camera，I can still be an artist with my dear Nikon d3200！
The D3200 is a great camera and with a nice lens on there, it’s easy to make great work 🖖
