We also liked the T4i's viewfinder better. On the D3200, you need to press the "i" button to access most shooting settings, which is a clumsy two-handed affair.
It also has touchscreen control via its Q menu, which is surprisingly convenient in everyday use.
The T4i has the better button layout for serious shooting, with direct access to key settings like ISO sensitivity, white balance, and color modes. Rear thumb grips are also present on both, and they work equally well. But neither is the T4i's in fact, we'd call it a wash on this point. The D3200 is definitely a very small DSLR, so it's not surprising that its grip isn't the biggest or deepest. The D3200's buttons actually feel a bit nicer overall, but that's a minor concern. The T4i's polycarbonate feels denser and more rugged, and its larger body only reinforces that sensation.
