With its quality build, very compact design and top-notch 16-Megapixel APS-C sensor, the Coolpix A seems to have plenty of interesting features for advanced users. However, Nikon's Coolpix A has no optical or electronic viewfinder, no tilt or swivel scree...

Great image quality, Small footprint despite large APSC sensor, Great build quality, Builtin flash
Hidden movie mode, AF is sluggish in low light, No viewfinder
Although the Nikon A does a great job at capturing sharp, high quality images, this is not a camera for the masses. So who is this camera designed for? Due to the inflexible 18.5mm fixed lens, many casual photographers will be quickly disillusioned by th...
Quality: above average in resolution and colour quality but notice the edge vignetting in the beach shot.Why you would buy the Nikon Coolpix A: you like the idea of a fixed focal length lens.Why you wouldn't: fiddly control points; I have encountered bett...
