The Nikon Coolpix A was able to team fast write speeds with great image quality, though for a price tag of £1000, we expecting more from its autofocus system...
Abstract: And in a similar vein, I give you the Coolpix Nikon A. It looks like a simple point-and-shoot travel camera, and on one level it is just that. The A has no athletic swinging screen, no zoom, just a couple of nice, sensible, well-placed controls. Pick it u...

If it were the only APS-C equipped compact on the shelf, the Nikon Coolpix A would be an easy recommendation for the small niche of shooters interested in this kind of camera. It's capable of capturing DSLR-quality images and it can fit in your pocket—wha...

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...
The Nikon Coolpix A is a dedicated wide-angle compact with a big image sensor. Image quality can suffer at the edges of the frame, and the autofocus is a smidge slow, but if if you want to pack a lot into your shots, it's worth a look....

Abstract: Nikon's Coolpix range of compact cameras has grown in strength over the last few years, and now it just got serious: the Nikon Coolpix A represents the first APS-C compact camera from the Japanese manufacturer. The camera even has "made in Japan" emblazon...
