Good camera for the price [Posted on 2006-08-03]
I got this camera a couple of weeks ago from my dad whose had it for 2 years. Takes great pictures (very clear and in focus). However, the screen blacks out for a few seconds after taking pictures so if you want to take a series of pictures within a short time, use the motion setting. Also, indoor pictures are sometimes blurry. But overall a good camera that takes awesome pictures for the price.
Camera Doesn't Hold Up to Light Rain [Posted on 2006-12-29]
I got this camera in July 2003 and it took beautiful pictures . The battery door broke at 8 months. I sent it out for repair to Nikon and they took 2 months to fix it. The fix if not under warranty was approximately $150.
It was a great point and shoot camera and I loved it until one day my daughter took a picture in the rain and it's never worked again. I paid about $320 for this camera and I feel ripped off.
I won't buy another Nikon because my son had a Nikon 2100 that went bad after 1.5 yrs. Don't waste your money.
power hungry [Posted on 2007-04-23]
I bought the 3200 new and it was a love hate relationship.
It was an early adopter model with many drawbacks.
Its dismal batery life was only matched by its lathargic performance.
in other words it ate up batterys quick and took pictures S L O W L Y.
It is now relegated to service as the kids camera when batterys are plentiful.
Good for what it is [Posted on 2007-05-02]
I don't think Nikon is making this camera any more, but for the two years I've had it, it's served me well. I've dropped it multiple times (once so hard that the batteries and card popped out), and I've taken pictures in the rain/snow several times. There is dust/condensation in the manual viewfinder because I have neglected to protect it from sudden changes in temperature. A few times, it has turned on while in my pocket. Despite all my inadvertant abuse, it continues to take fairly good pictures (considering that it's a 3MP point-and-shoot). The 2048x1536 resolution makes for nice smaller photos, and if you use the macro setting, you can even have some control over the depth of field (although the setting is rather fussy).
I never got the software that came with it to work, so I just plug in the Nikon and use iPhoto.
As an amateur photographer, I find this camera fairly limiting, but for straightforward documentation (of, say, family or friend-style events), it does what it's supposed to do.
