[QUOTE="Xwing, post: 55432, member: 9532"] Hi Folks, I just got back from Hunts Photo in Melrose, MA. The staff were excellent, my compliments. I've got a D40x right now and I took my 40mm Nikon micro prime lens with me. I shot 2 shots inside of Hunts with the same lens on three cameras, one macro shot and one distance shot within the store. I shot with the D40x, the D3200 and the D5100. Much to my amazement the D3200 came out on top with the best clarity of the lot. I then took my SD card home and did some additional pixel crawling and I could clearly see that the D3200 has by far the best resolution of the lot, about twice that of the D40x and about 25% better than the D5100. I felt that the macro shot looked quite similar in all three, however the distance shot clearly had way more resolution and clarity as i zoomed further in. I expected the D5100 to come out on top, but it didn't. I think I'll be upgrading to the D3200. My advise to anyone interesting in the D3200 is to do as I did, get a few shots from your old camera and few from the new one with the same lens and of the same subjects. Does it have HDR like the 5100, no. Does it matter, I don't think so. Do you have all the additional options of the 5100, no, do you need them, you judge. At the end of the day I just was crisper/sharper pictures. I don't even care about it's HD movies, I just want to shoot photos. Xwing [/QUOTE]
