If you can, buy the D3300. Look up at Flora's website for price. Street price should be cheaper.

According to Ryans website, D3200 and D3300 has a price difference of 5K. Both will come with a 18-55 lens. You may want to check the main differences between these two cameras here.

Video and low-light performance is better in D3300, but you also have to account for some other things before buying the camera; like Camera Bag, Memory Cards, Extra Battery etc.

Point to note, I have a "vast" experience of buying a single D3200 so far in my life . So, my points come from a noob perspective.

do you have prior experience of using a DSLR camera? if so then okay. but if not then my openion should be to buy a semi DSLR camera at first (can be 2nd hand, would be cheaper) use it, get the hang of it. then you will know when you need a DSLR camera, and you will be able pick the proper one you need. IMO this would be a better cost and learning efficient way. if you have prior experience then you may not need to do so

I disagree. Nothing comes close to a DSLR than a true DSLR. Only semi-DSLR I can think of available in BD is Sony Alpha but I don't think he'd get community support for it like he'd get on a Nikon or Canon camera. And iirc Nikon D3200/D3300 is very good for beginners cause they have built-in guide or something. I'm not a cameraphile but starting with semi-DSLR instead of true DSLR only will be a waste of money and time if he's finally going to buy a DSLR in the end.

What's a semi DSLR? Is it mirrorless camera?

with Semi DSLR i actually meant Bridge Camera. not the mirrorless ones. the difference is or bridge cameras come with fixed lens and in DSLR you buy the body (and also may b lens) and then try out different lens as your need. if you are a beginner then getting the basics with a bridge camera is better IMO (get a 2nd hand one) , then go for DSLR when you get the hang of things
