COOLPIX 3200

Nikon COOLPIX 3200 -- The 3.2 effective megapixel compact digital camera that captures quality images with ease

Tokyo - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX 3200 Digital Camera, a lightweight new digital camera with slim dimensions, 3.2-megapixel performance, and surprisingly simple operation.

The COOLPIX 3200 even has the advantage of 14.5MB of internal memory. This allows the user to shoot pictures when there's no SD memory card inserted, or copy shots between the internal memory and SD cards as desired.

Like all other models in the popular COOLPIX series, the COOLPIX 3200 has been designed to make things simple for the user and to allow increased versatility without compromising the fun of the moment. In line with this it features 15 handy Scene modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function. These do away with most of the preparation when shooting in common situations, achieving quality results when taking shots that range from sunsets to fireworks, to portraits. Users can also enjoy recording movies with sound, preserving special moments in a much more expressive way.

With a high-quality 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and 4x digital zoom, the COOLPIX 3200 gives users a high degree of control over the way they compose their shots. The COOLPIX 3200 makes it easy for the user to zoom in close on a single subject or person, zoom out to take group shots, and even use the handy Macro mode which can be used as close as 4cm so that small objects can fill the frame. However you compose, you'll find the COOLPIX 3200 achieves vibrant colors, faithful contrast, and impressive clarity - all made possible by Nikon's advanced image processing algorithms.

A range of other features make shooting more fun. Five Color options comprising Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype can be used to achieve creative results. A handy AF illumination assist function makes it easier to achieve sharp focus when shooting in poor light. A useful Blur Warning function alerts users of shots compromised by camera shake, giving them the choice to record them or not. The COOLPIX 3200 is also compatible with a wide range of rechargeable and disposable batteries, including alkaline batteries, which are easy to find. There's even an AC adapter too, which is available as a handy option.

The COOLPIX 2200, a 2.0-megapixel sister model to the COOLPIX 3200, will also be released at the same time.

Nikon COOLPIX 3200 Feature Highlights

Exceptionally easy to use

The COOLPIX 3200 inherits the same grip design as the COOLPIX 2100 and COOLPIX 3100, which enables a steady grip with a natural sense of comfort. Further augmenting this comfort are the camera's overall slim dimensions and surprisingly light weight. To allow easy access to the variety of convenient functions, all mode dials and controls are located on the back of the camera, while a larger, clear LCD (1.6-in., 80,000-dot TFT) makes for easy composition and pleasing playback.

Achieves satisfying results

With 3.2 effective megapixels and a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens, the COOLPIX 3200 blends high-level clarity with compositional freedom. It also offers the advantage of an AF assist illuminator, which makes it so much easier to obtain sharp focus when shooting subjects in low light.

Further convenience

With 14.5MB of internal storage memory, the COOLPIX 3200 allows the user to take shots at any time, even when not carrying compatible memory media, and enables the copying of shots between the internal memory and SD cards as desired. It's also compatible with a wide range of rechargeable and disposable batteries, including alkaline batteries which can be easily purchased virtually anywhere. Furthermore, a waterproof case is available as an exciting option^*, allowing the user to push the limits of their digital photography by shooting in the rain, in the snow, or even when scuba diving to depths of up to 40m.
