Nikon’s Coolpix compact camera line finally has its first large-sensor model! The Nikon Coolpix A is company’s first entry into the burgeoning large-sensor, fixed prime lens market, and the category’s first offering from a mainstream brand. It’s also among the smallest, lightest and most affordable, impressive when you consider that it packs in an APS-C image sensor and an f/2.8 wide-angle lens.
The fixed prime lens makes it something of a niche model, but if you can get past that, the Coolpix A is the kind of camera which will help you grow as a photographer.
