Our friends and office-mates over at Pop Photo just got themselves a look at the new Nikon D3200. It's Nikon's entry-level DSLR, but that's becoming less and less of a turn-off - the D3200 has a whopping 24.2-megapixel sensor (which is more than the Canon 5D Mark III!), a new processor that gives it a higher maximum ISO, and can shoot 1080p video at both 24 and 30 fps.

Sometimes when framing a photo, you might draw a little box with your fingers, visualizing the field of view before looking through the viewfinder.
