<p>I'm really leaning towards going with the D3200. <br />I know I'll miss the build quality and extra buttons on the D200, but I think it'll be worth it.<br>

I've noticed a LOT of shadow noise in some of my pictures with the D200, and I'm hoping maybe the D3200 will help with that some too.</p>

<p>So, I picked up a used D200 about a year back, and I've really been enjoying it.<br>

I've been using a 16-85 lens on it, and it's really impressed me.</p>

<p>Lately though, I've been thinking about upgrading, (or at least updating) to a D3200.<br>

More megapixels, and the ability to shoot video are my main reasons. Although better low light performance would be very welcome.<br>

Video is the main reason, but it's more of a "want", not really a "need".</p>

<p>So what I'm wondering is, how big of a difference in image quality could I really expect to see between the 10 mega-pixel D200 and the 24 mega-pixel D3200? The biggest I really see myself printing in 11x14/11x17. <br>

Is it worth giving up a pro body and replacing it with an entry level consumer model?<br>

The D5200 might possibly be in the budget, but only if there's a good reason to get it over the D3200.</p>

<p>I've been taking all my C41 35mm to CVS, and developing B&W myself, but what about 120 and slide film?<br>

The closest lab I've found is 50 miles away, is there anybody farther south?</p>
