CANON A75 vs NIKON COOLPIX 3200

Anyone familiar with these 2 camera's? How do they compare? Which do you
guys think is a better camera and why? They're both about the same price.
Thanks

 

The canon is a big beast compared to the 3200. Incredible number of
shooting modes on the nikon. The nikon uses only half the batteries. The
only advantage canon has is the ability to fit teleconverters.

 

A75 all the way

 

John:

I replaced a defective A series Canon that Canon failed to repair 3 times
with a Nikon Coolpix 3100, the predecessor of the 3200 and I do not regret
making the change from Canon to Nikon. The A series Canons are well know
for defects in their manufacturing and for failing after a few months of
use. The reviewers seem to like the A series Canons because they are biased
in favor of "manual" features. Read the user forums and you will see lots
of complaints about defects and failures.

As the earlier post mentioned, why use 4 AA batteries in the Canon when you
only need to use 2 in the Nikon (or Kodak, Sony, Olympus, Pentax, the list
goes on). It is because Canon cuts construction costs by not including the
electronics to boost the output voltage of the batteries like Nikon (or
Kodak, Sony, Olympus, Pentax, the list goes on).

As the earlier post mentioned, the " incredible number of shooting modes on
the nikon", is excellent in the Nikon 3200. If you like to shoot macros,
the macro on the Nikon is about the best in it's class, and far better than
what Canon can provide.

Good luck,

Steve
