My Brand new Nikon D 3200

First, welcome to the forum. Second, I'm assuming the two lenses are the 18-55 and the 55-200. The VR feature is handy on these lenses. Are you saying that the lenses you got were supposed to be VR and weren't? I would prefer to have the VR feature on the 55-200 while at 200mm. But, with a good way to stabilize the camera it is not a deal breaker if you got a good deal on it. Why the huge font?

Which lenses were you supposed to get in the bundled deal? Your fonts are way too large. We can read regular sized fonts. Thanks.

Opps........My page fonts are "all going to be" n o r m a l size from now on Sorry for the larger then needed here......And really the Bundled deal box only listed the D-3200 as that and not the D-3200 VR !......the D-3200 that was on display had the VR switch on it and i asked the sales person what that meant....i have had a other brand in the past and it had the "IS" feature and i never used it........so thinking i will be Ok ! long shots should always require a tripod or a steady set of arms with a deep breath when YOU trip the shutter yes 18mm to 55mm and the 55mm to 200mm is what i got .........Thanks Fellow Shutter Bugs *

A tripod helps. Or, get a monopod to help support your camera. Either way. We're looking forward to seeing some pictures from you!

Just to be clear, VR is a feature built in to the lens, not the camera. Look for the VR with on the lens. If it's not there, you have an older version of the lens with no VR.

This is the specs off the ad of the D-3200 that i bought !
Looks like i need to talk to somebody.....or is the setting for VR now in the cameras "settings areas" ?

See where the ad says "Optical Image Stabilization ?
My Lens has No VR on either one...18-55mm and 55-200mm

Looks like you have non-VR lenses. False advertising to say optical image stabilization when the lenses are not VR lenses.

The Vibration Reduction feature is a function of *some* lenses. Nikon calls this "VR" other lens manufacturers call it something else, like "Optical Stabilization". Regardless, this function has nothing to do with the camera body, NOTHING. It's a lens feature and lens either has it, or it does not have it.

If you want to talk to someone about this you can, but quite simply put, that's how it is.
....

I will take the sales slip and a copy of the ad like posted here and the 18mm to 55mm and the 55 to 200mm lens and tell them that i want to trade my non VR's for a VR lens as the ad says so lets see what they have to say about that tomorrow !........yes false advertising for sure !
*Thanks ))))Shutter Bugs ((((

Though the ad doesn't clearly state VR, it does clearly state 11 elements in 8 groups for the 18-55mm, which description only fits the VR versions of the 18-55mm.

A little added ammo, but Best BUy has gotten much better about making the customer happy.

Good luck.

The ad says "optical image stabilization." I think it might be a case of copy and paste gone bad.

Heading For BEST BUY today........and i sure will let ever one know......how i came out........I want the newer lenses with the VR switch.......I take too many pictures while i am stopped from the seat of my motorcycle and i sure.....cant be setting up tripod or a mono-pod for distant shots ! and as of today 1 12 2015 The BEST BUY add still lists the D-3200 with optical image stabilization the VR feature !

I hope the best for you, I bought the D3200 a few months ago and love the camera. Let us know how things turn out.

Get your money back and start over, I'd say.

If Best Buy is running the ad, then they are responsible. Someone for Best Buy should be proofreading those ads. Do you have a local TV station with a consumer reporter?

I wouldn't keep it. You will be better off with VR and most likely will always wish you had lenses with it. BJ's Wholesale Club has a D3200 kit with the 18-55mm VR and 55-200mm VR lenses, Nikon bag, 16GB card, and Wi-Fi adapter for $629.99. That will give you an idea of price.

Target has a D3200 with the 18-55mm VR lens for $449.99 with the option to also buy the 55-200mm VR at the same time for $100 off the cost of the lens (which is out of stock online). That would make the cost of the lens $149.99. It's a package deal...the lens must be bought when the body is purchased. Again, it will give you an idea of price. It will come in at roughly $600 via Target.
