With the Nikon Coolpix A being the first premium compact in Nikon’s Coolpix range, there’s no predecessor to compare it to. Instead, we’re left looking at its rivals to see how it stacks up against the competition. The Nikon Coolpix A’s direct competitor is th...

Abstract: After the success of the Fujifilm X100 , the Sony RX100 and the Canon G1 X , Nikon has finally embraced the idea of putting a large sensor in a compact-sized camera. The result is the Nikon COOLPIX A – which packs a 16.2-megapixel DX-format sensor and fix...

The Nikon Coolpix A is the smallest digital camera with an APS-C sensor and is similarly-sized to a compact camera. This incredible achievement puts the image quality of a DSLR in a camera that fits in a coat pocket. The compromise is that its lens offers...

Excellent image quality in both Raw and JPEG, Sharp lens with good consistency up to fairly wide apertures, Large sensor in genuinely small body, Simple and responsive user interface, Good build quality, Good live view magnification allows precise manual focus, Compatible with Nikon Speedlights,
Significant vignetting in both JPEG and Raw files, Pedestrian focusing limits 'decisive moment' abilities, No ND filter and 1/2000th sec shutter speed limit bright-light flexibility, Extremely limited movie capabilities, No Commander mode for use with remote flashguns,
The Coolpix A represents a welcome expansion by Nikon into photographer-targeted niches that had previously been rather under-served. With it the company has brought its mass-market expertise to make a camera that offers the same simplified interface ...
Image quality is comparable with the Nikon D7000 - meaning it is very good indeed. High ISO shooting in RAW produces excellent images.
Anyone who can work out how to activate movie mode without referring to the instructions should sign up for Mensa. It is ridiculous to have to plunge down two levels in the menus and then guess that the movie setting is under ''Release mode''. Where's the
This is an expensive camera that is intended to do one thing - take wide-angle photos. It does that one thing brilliantly. Mechanically, optically and electronically it is professional standard, all in a compact body that is tough and durable. But it does...

Abstract: DateJuly 11, 2013 (1) Read later This compact camera has several unusual features. First, it has an APS sensor as used in DSLRs such as the Nikon D7000. Also, it has a 28mm fixed focal-length lens. And it has the low-pass filter removed from ...
The Coolpix A is a bit of a Curate's egg: excellent in parts. Consequently, even though we can't complain about the camera's image quality, for its price we can't justify giving it an Editor's Choice nomination. Once you've overcome the counter-intuitive ...
Excellent image quality. Robust shooting design. Very sharp, fixed lens. Accurate automatic white balance every time
Slower than desired autofocus, plus a minimum focusing distance of 50cm. Ring around lens element is only for manual focus, not for adjusting exposure parameters. No external microphone jack
With the same-sized sensor as a digital SLR, it's no surprise that the Coolpix A smashes image quality out of the park, with a sharp lens and excellent optical performance....
