It sounds like you are using these photos for the purpose of web display and not print. If this is correct, web not print, then 10 megapixel is at least 3x more than you need. Reason I mention this is that megapixels has far more to do with printing images than displaying them on the web. My point, don't assume that more megapixels is a better picture. That is simply marketing for the uninformed. 2. Color issues - I used to a be a printer for fine art limited numbered prints. We would run into this all the time with artist that had to sign off on the work before we could run the prints. On a printing press, or for displaying on wildly different monitors, you will never match the subtleties of color variation that an artist can create that our eye can see but can't exactly be replicated on a printing press or with the camera. The D3200 will do the job, but you may have to consider that your expectation might be too high.3. Photo editing - You said that you have learned to work in raw and that has helped. Let me tell you, there is a far greater art IMO to the edit than the photograph itself. This is an area that I can not stress the skill involved. "Raw" is very raw and requires skills to polish it so that an image can be all it can be.With all of that said, a 50mm prime on the D3200 will do the job. I second what Sparky said on the lighting. Like editing, the lighting is so critical. Variation in how the lighting is hitting the art and color temperature of the light will change the color. Again, back to the edit to correct this.    Hope this helps.</blockquote>
