Verdict
Pick the Nikon D3200 if you prioritize higher resolution, faster burst shooting, and Full HD video—its 24.2 MP sensor and 4 fps burst make it the stronger choice for detail and action. Choose the Pentax K-200D if budget is tight and in-body stabilization is essential for handheld shooting, as its lower price and stabilization may offset its older 10.2 MP sensor and slower performance.
