Sasha B:
I have been looking on and off for a while now and have whittled it down to Nikon D3200 or Nikon D5200.

The main obvious differences are the LCD screen. The Nikon D3200 seems to be billed as a great camera with easy to operate menu which sounds just like what I need. But before I take the plunge can any one tell what the maim differences are and is the D5200 much more difficult to operate, hubby is more on the side of the D5200.

My long term aim is to be able to take a half decent action shot don't know if that would make a difference to which camera.

Thanks

Karen

Hi, I'm no expert but after many years of happily taking photos on a usual pocket camera I finally took the plunge,  I had the same concerns as you ie will I know how to use the thing :D

I kept looking at bridge cameras and DSLR's there is so much information out there.

I finally decided on the Nikon D3200, it's fantastic with a great Guide mode on it, you set the mode to what you are shooting and away you go, it also has a point and shoot mode and if you wish to start playing around with the settings you can.

I chose the D3200 for the price and the fact it is aimed at the novice as it is a entry level DSLR.
