The D3200 is getting good reviews in UK magazines but in a 4 camera review (Practical Photography July 2012)with Canon EOS 550D, Sigma SD15 the Nikon 3200 was very highly rated but came 2nd to the Sony 57! It was given the all important 1st place in terms of IQ. Update with D800 it is doing all I want and am still well pleased with it and have no regrets with parting with my D3X. I think it I would not even consider a D400 if and when it comes out as the D800 is all I need now.

It was given the all important 1st place in terms of IQ. I do sometimes wonder how neutral any review between brands can be, partcually with a magazine. Most photographers have an in built bias, and on top of that are publishing concerns relating to circulation, and advertising revenue. Makes for a difficult environment for true objectivity.

Small bits of equipment are probably fairly impartially reviewed but I imagine the camera and lens reviews are read pretty tightly (and amended when necessary) to ensure that the likes of Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, etc keep placing their monthly ads! Biased maybe not but truth shaded possibly.

I would't make a buying decision on that information but no doubt many will? To me the brand selection is about the whole brand experience, the feel of the cameras, the layout of controls and menus, the quality of aftercare and the availability of lenses which suit my needs. Those are the sort of considerations I make before buying into a brand. Once I have committed to a brand I select the model which suits my needs and my pocket. On the IQ front while there must be some variations I don't think there are bad choices especially in the upper end of the market. It's more a matter of finding a tool which suits your needs.

Graham I do wish you hadn't said that. I have a strong emotional attachment to my D3X, but it is getting very close to being declared surplus to requirements. I can carry the D800/800E for longer with the option for DX cropping plus the D4 if I need to push things. Actually, in real world work for me (macro mainly) the D4 is a real game-changer. The Nikkor 200 is usable without a tripod. Hope you guys are all above the water level. Ed

So as Graham said the D3X is surpassed by the D800! This round of camera upgrades has really changed the landscape. With my D800 I do feel that I dont need any more pixels or size of sensor. I guess there will be a D4X that comes later this year or early next year that will have the D800 sensor and improved electronics.

Nikon need to get the D400 or whatever it will be called out ASAP as a lot of people I am talking to are getting fed up of waiting.
