Nikon D3300 vs Nikon D3200 – Comparison

Nikon has a long tradition of incrementally upgrading its entry-level DSLR range rather than overhauling it with each new launch, and this can be seen with the D3300.

The newcomer inherits the same 24.2MP APS-C sensor and 3in, 921k-dot TFT LCD as seen in the D3200, while also featuring the same effective 11-point AF set-up as utilised previously.

That’s not to say it’s without new features however. The D3300 offers upgraded video capture modes, while the latest EXPEED 4 image processor ensures a faster 5fps continuous shooting mode, as well as a new ISO 25,600 setting and better image processing capabilities.

All told, while the D3200 certainly isn’t a bad camera – featuring a host of functionality seen on its successor – if you can afford the extra cash the D3300 is a better investment.
