Sincerely, a guy who knows a decent amount about SLRs but usually shoots in Auto because life is busy but I still want my shots to look like I know what I'm doing.

I use this with a 2008-made D300 to shoot boxing and college basketball on the baseline.
I have many old, expensive Nikor lenses. I wish I had gotten a D7100. Actually the D7200 has a few features more than the D7100 so, I'd want the D7200. We're talking crop sensor DSLR cameras not full frame DSLR cameras nor mirror-less cameras here.
The D7xxx series has more features and If I recall correctly, they're better made and are better sealed against weather. Don't get a D3xxx or D5xxx series if you can afford a used D7100 or a used D7200. Don't get a new D7500. It's over priced.
Note that you can use full frame lenses. You DON'T HAVE TO use DX lenses. The VR feature on newer lenses is nice but not absolutely necessary unless you don't have a steady hand or you push down too hard on the trigger/shutter release. The VR is nice if you can afford it.
The D3200 doesn't do AF with older, full frame, AF lenses. I forget if it does through the lens metering with them. It can't use P-series lenses at all.
The D7100 and D7200 have full compatibility with AI lenses, AF-D lenses, AF-S lenses, E-Type lens and limited compatibility with AF-P lenses. This comes into play if you have old lenses or you find old lenses for cheap and many old lenses are excellent and better than newer, plastic housed lenses.
Older AF lenses are often called screw drive lenses. It refers to the AF type and there's a screw on the silver, butt-end of the lens.

Hey thanks so much for spending time on this response. Its been so long that I don't even remember the camera specs. For this lens it was more of a price thing, $150bux to revive an old camera collecting dust seemed somewhat appealing.
Been on the fence for last several years looking mirrorless and full frames and didn't pull trigger.
I think the appeal for me was the portraits (daughters, not me).
Thanks again kind sir.

The D3200 kit included an AF-S DX 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 G VR lens. I got the kit in pristine condition including box, lens,battery, charger, all cables, disc, manuals and warranty cards, though it's out of warranty, for $171 if memory serves.
I got a AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f4.5-5.6 G lens barely used in-box for somewhere between $65 and $75.
My brother is a pro photographer who uses Nikons. He just got a Sony a6300 mirror-less and loves it. It's smaller and you don't look like a pro. It has the same crop and megapixels as the D3200. The D3200, of course, has a mirror.
I just saw the title of a video on Youtube that said NOT to buy Sony mirror-less but I haven't watched it yet. I've heard nothing but good things about it. I've checked it out and it's a great little camera.
There's a wealth of info/opinion on Youtube. Note that some videos simply say/rate all the stuff as great. I just saw one that included the D3200 as one of the best cameras of mid 2020. That's not true at all. No one else rates it as such. It was one of those videos that has a robotic voice. It may have been one of the ones that tries to make you go to their website for their latest lists.
Wikipedia lists ALL Nikon cameras in categories on one page such as entry level consumer, skilled consumer, entry level pro, pro, etc.. Those aren't their exact categories but you get the idea.
You can do pretty much whatever you want to do with the D3200 and a6300. The a6300 would cost you a lot more than the D3200. Two zoom lenses would cover just about all the focal lengths you need. You could add better stock, single focal lengths later.
Have fun.

I'll check back (won't bombard this chain) but the crop was one of the downfalls on my old Nikon, serviceable when it was out but not now for my photo preferences. Way more versatility with full frame pics nowadays. Def wasn't and plan on using it for videos and high ISOs.
Kudos to research, was lazy and hoping for "cheatsheets" from more experienced users.
Thanks again for time spent on the information. Solid points.

Started on D40x moved to others like D90 / D5100 and D5200
It's a great portrait lens. A must have for your dslr. I spent probably 5 years using it.
I've since moved to full frame Sony ar7iv and Lumix full frame cameras. So MIRRORLESS cameras.
