With the advent of this website and the fact that all my travels to date had been captured on a point and shoot Canon or my iPhone, it was time to get a camera worthy of the journey.
I chose the Nikon D3200 based on a variety of factors such as price, performance and ease of use. I purchased it with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR NIKKOR Zoom Lens and a Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Nikkor Zoom Lens.
My initial intent was to buy a Canon Rebel T3i but after handling both of them I chose the Nikon - both are amazing but I just felt more at ease with the Nikon's controls, the intuitive Guide Mode facilitates learning and put me at ease right away. With powerul features like a 24.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, full HD 1080p movie capability and great low light photo potential, I'm excited to take this camera into the wild.
