I am amazed at this little bundle. If you are new and want a nice, inexpensive DSLR but are drowning/hesitating among all the options and prices, don't. Just buy this, you will not regret it. I did a double take because I couldn't believe everything I was getting. I personally shoot with my trusty old D90 still, but this was for a specific project that needed a dedicated camera. I have to admit that this shoots way more reliably than my D90. It's focus is incredibly fast and the metering is Nikon perfect. It's amazing what half a decade in technology leads to both in quality and in price.This D3200 bundle is the ideal camera for someone who is looking to step up from point-and-shoot cameras and phone snapshots and get started with digital photography. It is pretty full-featured and has amazing picture quality for a fraction of the cost of the more expensive models. Basically, this is a way to get into the hobby or dramatically improve the quality of your pictures without breaking the bank. I couldn't even tell that it was refurbished. It looked brand new to me. Not a scratch or a nick anywhere, and the LCD was bright and crystal clear. With this, you can produce stunning photos (and videos) without being reduced to tears if you drop it on accident or be too afraid to hand it to a friend/relative to take a picture for you. As is often said, having the best (read: most expensive) camera in the world is useless if you're too afraid to take it outside and take pictures.The lens on this is a perfect first lens. It's 18-55mm, which means it's a zoom lens (you spin a ring on the lens to select the region you are capturing, zooming in one way and zooming out the other). It's sharp, fast, and handles low light decently. I'd of course recommend the spectacular fixed 35mm for its tack sharpness and to shine in low-light as well as the 55-200mm to give you some telephoto (serious distance zoom) coverage, but these lenses each cost half the price of this camera kit! You can see how photography can become a very expensive hobby very quickly. I'd hold off on those as a first purchase and wait to see how things go.But this is why this kit in particular is a great starter package. You get an entry level, but still very solid camera body and a decent zoom lens. Don't let the term "entry level" make you feel cheap, this is still a Nikon camera with a legitimate Nikkor lens. It is categorically different and more capable than any point and shoot or pinhole phone camera. Period. End of discussion. If you find that you want/need more, Nikon will be more than happy to sell you more lenses or step up to a more expensive camera body later. For the first step though, this is ideal.I should note that in addition to taking ridiculously high quality photos, this also does quite well with video. It can do 1080p video at up to 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps. I'd have loved to have seen 1080p at 60fps, but you don't get that unless you go to the D3300 or D5300 which cost tons more than this D3200 kit. That's just not worth the extra cost.In practice, I've been amazed. Even under terrible lighting conditions (e.g. indoor low light under coiled fluorescent lights with completely mismatched color temperatures and an LCD as an intended capture target) I can get remarkable photo and video quality with perfect color reproduction. Nikon's white balance settings do sheer magic where even a prosumer camcorder just fails miserably (I'm looking at you Sony). Sure, some of the knobs and dials are tucked away in menus and not as easily accessible as on the more pro-level cameras, but for the price, I'll deal with fiddling with the menus on the few times that I need them (honestly, my D90 was overwhelming for months when I first got it). For the vast majority of the time, I just set it to program or manual mode and fire away. It's beautiful.

I'm quite happy with the product. This is my 1st dslr and came with a bag and all accessories as mentioned. Also I was able to register my dslr on nikon website. This is a pretty good camera for beginners. Only if amazon had given the option of next day delivery I would be very happy cos I had to wait for a week to get the product.

I am very new to this field of DSLR photography. I was earlier using NIKON L110 point & shoot which is also good and is still with me. I have been using this DSLR for just 5-6 days, but believe me it does wonders if you sincerely want to learn quickly.I am rediscovering it each time i get hold of it. I was in a little dilemma whether to go with D3300 or D3200, but after studying them for a considerable amount of time i found that the difference between the two is very minimum and photographs taken by both can't be distinguished easily, even by professionals.Thus i opted for D3200 saving around 4000 bucks.Delivery wise Amazon was quick and hassle free.Product wise it is very good beginner camera with more or less all kind of modes and settings. I bought it with single 18-55 lens, but go with 55-200 zoom lens also if you can afford together. The NIKON DSLR School Tutorials twin DVDS provided with the box is of great help thanks to the (Nikon buddies Rohan & Abhishek). The interface is quite easy to learn with nominal guidance from some friend or those DVDs. The 18-55 lens i got is of the most latest type (the lens with button to turn shown in D3300).I am using easycover silicone case which gives the camera a perfect fit and protection.As i told that i am a beginner so i will not say much about the technical aspects, i leave those to our experienced friends. But if you are considering to upgrade to DSLR from any form of camera than i would recommend this NIKON D3200 to you.
