The D3200 is getting good reviews in UK magazines but in a 4 camera review (Practical Photography July 2012)with Canon EOS 550D, Sigma SD15 the Nikon 3200 was very highly rated but came 2nd to the Sony 57! It was given the all important 1st place in terms of IQ.
Update with D800 it is doing all I want and am still well pleased with it and have no regrets with parting with my D3X. I think it I would not even consider a D400 if and when it comes out as the D800 is all I need now.
I do sometimes wonder how neutral any review between brands can be, partcually with a magazine. Most photographers have an in built bias, and on top of that are publishing concerns relating to circulation, and advertising revenue. Makes for a difficult environment for true objectivity.
I'd definitely agree with that comment.
Small bits of equipment are probably fairly impartially reviewed but I imagine the camera and lens reviews are read pretty tightly (and amended when necessary) to ensure that the likes of Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, etc keep placing their monthly ads!
Biased maybe not but truth shaded possibly.
