Nikon Coolpix 3200 Review - Steve's Digicams

Steve's Conclusion The Coolpix 3200 is the successor to Nikon's Coolpix 3100 and shares a similar compact body design, three-megapixel imager, and 3x optical zoom lens. It features an Auto record mode for point-n-shoot simplicity, but eliminates the Manual mode that was present in the 3100.

Nikon Coolpix 3200 and 2200

CES 2004: Nikon has today announced the new Coolpix 3200 and 2200. These two cameras are based around the same body (which is similar to the Coolpix 3100) and have a three and two megapixel CCD sensor respectively. Both have a three times optical zoom lens. This pair of entry level Coolpix digital cameras also feature 14.5 MB of built-in flash memory for storage without the optional SD card or for instance in an emergency when the SD card is full. They are powered by two EN-MH1 NiMH batteries which are included along with the charger. Nikon has also introduced a waterproof case for these cameras (although this won't be available in the US).
