First Impressions: Nikon Coolpix A


This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer




The Nikon Coolpix A was an answer to a problem that Nikon didn’t really have. They decided that they wanted to have their own fixed-lens large sensor compact camera as it would seem that this is an emerging market. The Coolpix A has a 16MP APS-C sized sensor with a fixed 18.5mm f2.8 (28mm equivalent) lens which makes it a suitable camera for discreet street photography. Adorama Camera was kind enough to loan me one for review, and I’ve had a little time to spend with the camera so far and I’m here to share my first impressions.
