What is not to love about the new Nikon D3200 for only $699?

This is a huge technical improvement for an entry-level Nikon. Canon is going to have to scramble to find an answer for this Nikon announcement. First of all, you can get it in RED. That could be “enough said”… but I will go on, because we do like our good deals on great gear. Though the fashion statement is something to be considered here. Just imagine this with a red and black fabric strap around your neck. This color option thing is a first for Nikon and I LOVE IT!

Here is a nice review from: theverge.com

MORE THOUGHTS:  I recommend you buy the body only (or just sell the 18-55 kit lens on eBay) and get the with the Nikon 18-200 lens for sure. Well worth the price and flexibility so you don’t have to change lenses all the time. But if you can’t afford that $900 lens, then save up for the new Nikon 1.8G 85mm lens for portraits and incredible bokeh for $499 and you will be set, until you can afford the 18-200 lens, or upgrade to the Nikon D800 when you go PRO.
