Nikon on April 19, 2012 announced its new entry level Digital SLR - Nikon D3200 – the successor to the D3100 announced in August 2010.

The Nikon D3200 features a new DX-format CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 24.2 million pixels, against the 14.2-million pixels image sensor on the D3100.

The new sensor improves ISO sensitivities to ISO 100 - 6400, from IS0 100-3200 on the D3100.

With the new sensor comes a new processing engine, Expeed 3. (The D3100 featured the Expeed 2 processing engine.)

The Guide mode on the D3100, which won the iF Communication Design Award 2011 from International Forum Design GmbH of Hanover Germany for making the camera very easy to use, has been further improved in the D3200.

The D3200 features more assist images and text explanations of scenes to make it even more easier for the entry level user than the D3100.

The D3200 features a 3-in., approx. 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor with wide viewing angle for live view shooting. (The D3100 featured a 3-in., approx. 230 k-dot TFT LCD)

When using live view to capture stills, users can choose one of four AF-area modes: Normal-area AF, Wide-area AF, Subject-tracking AF, or Face-priority AF.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
