Nikon's Coolpix A is the first (and only) Coolpix series camera to include its DX (APS-C) sized CMOS image sensor usually found in Nikon's entry level DSLRs, which makes the "A" not only a member of Nikon's Advance Performance series like the P520 and P7700, but the Flagship on the entire Coolpix brand (for 2013).

Nikon mates the 16.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor to an 18.5mm prime NIKKOR lens with a sporty f/2.8 aperture. In 35mm terms, we're talking a 28mm lens without zoom capabilities. A 4 frames-per-second burst shooting mode will help capture fast action and advanced capabilities include Full Manual Control and RAW/NEF image capture. There are also a number of Nikon's artistic enhancement Scene Modes to stylize your shots.

In addition to its own feature set, the Nikon Coolpix A has been designed with a few optional accessories, including an Optical Viewfinder, an Adapter Ring and metal Lens Hood combination, and a Wireless Mobile Adapter adding WiFi capabilities.
