"The D3200's metering system is its greatest weakness. It frequently over-exposes the sky and bright areas... leading to disappointing photos where the subtle colors of a sunrise are simply washed out into a white void."

"Architecture is a discipline of precision, not 'good enough' snapshots. Attempting serious work on a DX body like the D3200 is fundamentally flawed because you are fighting the gear from frame one. Between the lack of a 100% pentaprism viewfinder—which makes precise edge-to-edge alignment impossible—and the absence of an electronic level, you’re basically guessing your way through a composition."
