Combining the portability of a compact camera with DSLR performance, now you can take professional shots anytime and anywhere.
Equipped with a large, DX-format 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor (23.6 x 15.6 mm) and an EXPEED 2 image processing engine, the Coolpix A features DSLR technology in compact format. The NIKKOR fixed wide-angle 18.5 mm f/2.8 lens (28mm equivalent) offers high definition from the center to the extreme corners of the image, and a manual focus ring allows you to override auto focus if the mood takes you. The Coolpix A also supports 14 bits compressed RAW (NEF) image data, enabling you to adjust pure, unprocessed images in-camera. The Coolpix A - The professional choice of compact camera
The palm-sized maestro
This sleek, high-class compact camera offers a level of performance usually reserved for advanced Nikon D-SLR models. Get ready to realize more of your photographic vision with a compact camera capable of D-SLR quality photography.
Large sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels
Not only is the camera's sensor 12.9 times as large as the 1/2.3-in. type found in conventional compact cameras, the DX-format CMOS sensor inside the Coolpix A is also the same one used in Nikon D-SLR cameras, delivering the same extraordinary image quality, high ISO sensitivity and minimized noise as its larger-bodied brethren.
No optical low-pass filter for maximum sharpness
With a DX-format sensor designed without an optical low-pass filter, the Coolpix A achieves consistently high levels of sharpness and image quality. Combine this with the camera's superior lens resolution and you get truly breathtaking images.
The advantage of 18.5 mm wide-angle coverage
The 18.5 mm angle is excellent for most subjects, including landscape, architecture, documentary, close-up or candid shooting. The versatile wide-angle lens encourages your spontaneity, enabling you to instantly capture any moment that attracts your attention while still retaining your subjects' natural expressions. You can also use the wide-angle advantage to emphasize the perspective for dramatic effects. Unlike zoom lenses, the fixed focal length ensures exceptional edge-to-edge optical performance. Wherever you go, whatever catches your eye, the Coolpix A is ready to capture it beautifully.
Exceptional resolution, color reproduction and bokeh
The Coolpix A corrects and compensates for spherical aberration and coma to realize images comparable to those captured with D-SLR interchangeable lenses. The lens inside the Coolpix A incorporates a seven-blade iris diaphragm. In addition to incredible detail at the focus points, employing an odd number of blades results in a beautiful, circular bokeh (background blur) effect.
Robust metal frame
Built for endurance, the compact Coolpix A body is encased in a tough aluminum alloy, with a top surface covered by magnesium alloy for true durability. With a leatherette grip and dials cut from a metal block, the Coolpix A conveys the feeling of authentic photographic gear. This and a myriad other design details serve as valuable examples of Nikon's unique heritage of craftsmanship.
Manual focus operation
In addition to autofocus operation, the Coolpix A has a manual focus ring for when you want to take your creative intention into your own hands. This D-SLR style of creative control - the ability to alter the focus plane slightly forward or backward - can be especially beneficial with macro photography.
Full HD movie
With Full HD movie recording at 1920 × 1080/30p, you can shoot impressive movies utilizing the DX-format sensor. With beautiful bokeh and incredibly high image quality even at high ISO sensitivities, you can record exquisite and expressive movies that are only possible with DX format. The subject-tracking AF feature keeps even moving subjects in clear focus. The sound of movies is recorded in stereo. By connecting an HDMI cable, you can output the movie to external equipment for viewing on a large screen.
