Enjoying playing around with it. Realising how hard photography is and appreciating the pics in this thread.
You may find (as I did) that you will also want a smaller camera that you can fit in a shirt or pants pocket for times when you don't want to carry your D3200 with you. I bought a Nikon Coolpix L18 for around $90 (US) several years ago and many of the pictures I've taken with it look as good as pictures I've taken with my more expensive Sony DSC-H2. I usually bring my Nikon with me when I know I will be close enough to take decent pics without needing the extra capabilities of my Sony (the picture I posted of Al Bouchard playing drums, wearing the Godzilla mask, was taken with it.)

You can spend a lot more for a pocket-sized camera, depending on what you want for features, but even the ones like my $90 Nikon will probably be all you will want, most of the time, when you don't need your D3200.
