Nikon D3200 Sample Images Show Noisy Low-Light Performance

by NS_Photography
Apr 22nd 2012 - 0 comments

The first sample images of the Nikon D3200 have just come out of Nikon France; and although they look great for the most part, the one low-light image confirms suspicions that Nikon may have gone too far putting 24.2-megapixels in the camera. More noticeable on the full-resolution photographs, you can tell that once the ISO [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/46/07/39/460739.jpeg[/IMG]

Nokia recently put together this ad for the new 808 PureView — their 41-megapixel monster of a camera phone — that they claim was shot using only the smartphone itself.
