Nikon D3200 | Journey To Find The PERFECT YouTube Studio Camera

In this video, I start my journey to find the perfect YouTube studio camera with the Nikon D3200.

Released in 2012 as an entry level DSLR camera – you can pick one up second hand these days off Facebook marketplace from $300-650 which included a 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens. So if you’re looking for a bargain, you just might find it.
It has a 24MP DX sensor with a 1.5 crop.
It's made of plastic and not weather sealed… but if it’s living in a studio, that shouldn’t really matter.
No tilting screen, fixed on the back. No touch screen.
Mini-HDMI output to external monitor.
Single SD card slot.
20 minute recording limit.
We recorded with the Nikon 18-105mm F3.5-5.6 lens.
There are 3 focus modes: single-servo AF, Full-time-servo AF and Manual Focus.
It has two video modes, PAL and NTSC.
In PAL mode you can record up to 1080 25p, plus 720 50p.
In NTSC mode you can record up to 1080 30p, or 720 60p.
1080 24p is available in both modes if that’s important to you.
I would like an ISO and White balance button on the camera. To change these settings you need to dive into the menu. At least there is a section that has recent settings which you can use for settings you regularly change.
It has native ISO from 100-6,400 and an extended ISO of 12,800 when Hi 1 is selected.
When recording in Manual mode, ISO 200 is the lowest you can go.
It comes with a built in flash that I’ll never use.
Can’t record video unless you are in the Live View mode.
Can’t change aperture when in Live View mode… and it has a microphone jack for those who want to record audio internally.
