APS-C sensor compact by Nikon

[JSRockit]

The Nikon Coolpix A has 2 things I do not like:

1) it is too small again

2) it has no EVF built in

1) could have easily been solved with 2)

Then it is simply not for you... right?

How you know?

This review reports that the Nikon A can manage more images per charge than 250, so no disappointment there.

"I found battery life to be surprisingly good; 500-600 images per charge was routinely achievable"

For those who like a little bigger camera and and EVF I would just buy an OMD with a 12/2.0 lens.

For my part I find the Nikon A attractive BECAUSE it is small. (but still it seems easy to hold and operate for my hands)

Nikon has it backwards....

They should have put the sensor from this camera in the 1 series and series 1 sensor in this camera...

- Fuji X100s, faster lens (though a bit longer) and a viewfinder;
- Sigma DP1 Merrill, Foveon sensor (whether you like to deal with its limitations or not, the detail it produces are incredible)
- Leica X2, longer but not faster lens, quite a bit more expensive;
- Sony RX-1, larger sensor, faster lens (though a bit longer), however in a completely different price league (3x)

Very eager to see how the new Ricoh GR fits into this list. Fixed focus 28mm equal, APS-C sensor @ $800.
