http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/04/2012-04-18-15.jpg Nikon’s recent cashback promo gave us a twinge that new consumer models might be around the corner, but as of today there’s just the one: the almost entry-level D3200, which Nikon hopes will complement the cheaper D3100 without supplanting it. The price gap between these two low-end DSLRs is significant – around $150 based on current D3100 prices, with the black D3200 and regular 18-55mm kit lens expected to hit shelves at the end of April for $700. What does that extra outlay get you? Quite a lot, actually: a hefty resolution upgrade to 24-megapixels with an Expeed 3 processing engine, versus 14-megapixels mustered by D3100; an extra ISO notch of 6400, providing more flexibility in low-light situations; and also a much higher-res LCD display for cleaner live-viewing and playback, with around four times as many pixels as the D3100’s grainy window. Read on for some initial impressions and a hands-on video, and you’ll see that there are a couple of subtler selling points too.
