What a bargain!

Re: What a bargain!

Love this thread!

This camera has been with me since 2011 - my first DSLR.

About three months after I bought it I went shooting some landscapes by a lake. I setup my camera on a tripod and as I turned around my gumboots got stuck in the mud and I knocked over the camera.

I pulled the camera out of the lake, took off my shirt, unscrewed the lens and anything possible and dried off as much of the water as I could. Ran home, dropped it in rice and a week later I was back to the lake.

I must admit I was a bit disappointed when I heard that the Nikon D3200 had 24mp. It took me a bit of time and some research to realize I made a terrific choice. IQ is good enough and the handling is great. Pity it gets so little attention.

In a few months time this will be my backup (70D or 760D) and I PRAY this plastic little diamond still has another 4 years to go.
