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

Not the fastest autofocus
Corner shading
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

The Nikon Coolpix A produces the excellent photos you'd expect from a large sensor, and the camera is well built with a streamlined, if somewhat point-and-shoot-like, design
For the price, it needs to deliver a little more, such as a viewfinder, aspects of its performance could be better
If you're very picky about photo quality and prefer autofocus to manual -- but don't care about a viewfinder -- the Nikon Coolpix A is probably worth the money. Otherwise, wait for the price to drop.

Compact design. APS-C image sensor. 28mm wide-angle field of view. Good high ISO performance. Quick to start and shoot. Raw support.
Soft edges at f/2.8 and f/4. Longer shutter lag. Macro mode slows focus. Cannot disable rear LCD. No EVF option. Movie setting is buried in menus
The Nikon Coolpix A is a dedicated wide-angle camera with a big image sensor. Image quality can suffer at the edges of the frame, and the autofocus is a bit slow, but if if you want to pack a lot into your shots, it's worth a look....
Abstract: Nikon Coolpix A review: Nikon surprised everyone launching the Coolpix A, its new premium compact camera which boasts the same sensor as the D7000. But is its image quality worth the Nikon Coolpix A price tag? Find out in our Nikon Coolpix A review video....
Superb image quality, Excellent high ISO noise performance, Manual focus lens ring, Retractable lens with integral cover, Auto ISO control.
28mm f2.8 lens poor for all-round use, Lacks a built-in viewfinder or reasonably priced accessory, Fixed LCD screen, Lacks a dedicated movie record button.
The COOLPIX A pretty much achieves what Nikon no doubt had in mind for it. It is the World's smallest camera with an APS-C format sensor. The image quality and low light high ISO noise performance are nothing short of outstanding for a camera this siz...

The Nikon Coolpix A is an assured entry into the growing premium compact camera market, boasting an attractive combination of a proven APS-C sensor, quality 28mm optic and a small and compact body. Slightly sluggish auto-focus speed, a "slow" f/2.8 lens...

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...
