Don't get the 70-300mm all 3 makes of that lens aren't very good at all. If you wan't a really nice zoom, get the Sigma 70mm-210mm F2.8 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIGMA-70-2...p2054897.l4276,

it's an old lens but brilliant, it auto focuses on my D90 but unfortunately the lower end camera's like the 3200 do not have their own focus motor and rely on the lens having one, this means you would only be able to use manual focus, this isn't an issue for a lot of people but might be for some.
