#Nikon d3200 sample image software
The JPEG was processed using the in-camera defaults, while the RAW file was processed using the supplied Nikon ViewNX 2 software which provides basic RAW editing tools.

The sensitivity was set to 100 ISO and the aperture to f5.6.
#Nikon d3200 sample image plus
To compare real-life performance between RAW and JPEG files on the Nikon D3200, I shot this scene in the camera’s RAW plus Large Fine JPEG mode enabling me to compare images created from exactly the same data. The truth is that the quality gap between 18 and 24 Megapixels is less than you might expect.Ĭheck out my D3200 RAW vs JPEG results on the next page or see how these models compare at higher sensitivities in my D3200 Noise results.
The Canon kit lens is prone to fringing at the edge of the frame, but other than that I think these outdoor crops look a little more detailed than those from the D3200. It’s quite likely that what we’re comparing here is results from the same sensor and the differences are entirely due to lens characteristics and processing.Ĭompared with the results form the Canon EOS T2i / 550D’s 18 Megapixel sensor, the Canon crops again look a little sharper and more clearly defined than those from the D3200. It’s the same story in the final crop where the NEX-7 has produced a more contrasty result with more apparent detail, but more noise too. In the second crop, the lighthouse looks more clearly defined as does the foreground detail, but again, I think this is mostly, if not all, down to the contrast and possibly more aggressive sharpening.
The most obvious difference is that the NEX-7 crops are a little more contrasty than those from the D3200, so the detail looks a little bit sharper, but there isn’t really any more detail there. Given that they probably share the same sensor the D3200 crops make for an interesting comparison with those from the Sony NEX-7. Lastly in the crop from close to the centre of the frame the edges look sharp and well-defined, but the softness apparent in the other crops is evident here too. The third crop from closer to the edge of the frame also looks very good with no visible softening and no evidence of colour fringing. There’s a slight softness to the edge detail in this crop that could almost certainly be addressed with different processing and there’s not too much evidence of noise at the base 100 ISO setting. Despite the slight atmospheric haze, the lighthouse is a distinct white cylinder and the foreground roofs and window frames are reasonably cleanly defined. The second crop with the lighthouse is much more promising though. Moving onto the crops, the first one is distinctly average in terms of the fine detail, while you can make out the window frames and crosses on the roof of the chapel, the detail in the stonework and the foreground rocks isn’t as clear as it might be.
The colours are well saturated and the white balance is good. Despite its tendency to occassionally over-expose in just these kinds of situation, this time it’s got the exposure bang on with a histogram right in the middle of the chart and no clipping. Overall the D3200 has produced a good result from this high contrast scene. The NEX-7 selected an exposure of 1/800 at f5.6 and so 1/3EV exposure compensation was set to produce the same exposure as the other two cameras. The D3200 metered an exposure of 1/640 at f5.6 – the same as the EOS T2i / 550D. The camera was set to Aperture priority mode with the aperture set to f5.6 and the sensitivity was set to 100 ISO. The image above was taken with the Nikon D3200 with the AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 lens. The ISO sensitivity was manually set to 100 ISO on all three models. I didn’t attempt to adjust the zooms to compensate for the marginal differences in crop factor between the three cameras.Īll three cameras were set to f5.6 in Aperture priority exposure mode, stabilisation was disabled for this tripod-mounted test and tone enhancement features were left on the default settings – Active D-Lighting on the D3200 was on, Auto Lighting Optimizer on the T2i / 550D was set to Standard and DRO was set to Auto on the NEX-7. To compare real-life performance when zoomed-out, I shot this scene with the Nikon D3200, the Sony NEX-7 and the Canon EOS T2i / 550D within a few moments of each other using their best quality JPEG settings.Īll three cameras were fitted with their respective 18-55mm kit lenses which were set to their widest angle 18m settings to provide an equivalent field of view.
