I'm having a terrible time viewing the LCD screen when it's sunny. Has anyone purchased a sun hood for the LCD screen for the D3200? There is a sun hood by Hoodman that is $80 on Adorama. Any comments? Edit: After posting this I found all kinds of DIY projects for a sun hood on YouTube. I think...

It would be amazing to live in a country where parrots are indigenous. You're making me want to go book a flight to Australia. Here's one of my house parrots - a Hahns Macaw, native to South America. He has big man syndrome. This is one of the first rounds of photos I took with my D3200.

I was at Walmart and passed the bubble guns. I couldn't resist. These were taken outside with a black drape hung on a clothesline. Some of them could clearer but I'm satisfied since I'd never done this before.

Hey Feilong29, Have you been back to shoot sunflowers? Do you have any buckshot in your backside? I'm not as brave as you but awhile back I picked a few sunflowers (quickly!) then photographed them inside against black cardboard. .

I've had my D3200 for a year now and am finally comfortable with the basic functions. I picked up the camera a couple weeks ago after several months of no photography. I honestly can't recall if I was having this issue previously. I have no problem when taking photos through the viewfinder...

I have had my D3200 since May. The auto focus component of the camera is flat-out not working. It worked fine for the first month or two, then the auto focus began working intermittently. Now it's not working at all. The really sad thing is I went to Alaska on vacation and took about a 100 shots...
