COOLPIX A - Black

Nikon COOLPIX A

The COOLPIX A offers the image quality of a D-SLR and the portability of a compact camera. This powerful performer features an impressive 16.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS, the same image sensor found in our acclaimed D-SLRs. The state-of-the-art 18.5mm lens (28 mm in 35mm format equivalent) f/2.8 NIKKOR lens ensures exceptional performance and fully retracts to maximise portability.

Mini yet mighty - the 1st compact with a DX-format sensor

The COOLPIX A is Nikon's first and smallest compact camera with a DX-format sensor - the same sensor used in many of our high-end cameras. This palm-sized masterpiece delivers stunning D-SLR quality photos at up to 16.2 megapixels, with a level of performance that rivals that of a D-SLR. For quality images in a wide range of lighting conditions, the COOLPIX A features an ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 6400, which can be set to ISO 25600 equivalent (Hi 2).

Breathe life into every photo

With its extraordinary image quality, the COOLPIX A lets you capture the essence of every moment. It features a specially designed retractable 18.5mm (28mm in 35mm [135] format equivalent) f/2.8 NIKKOR lens. Enjoy intentional front or rear focus while macro shooting, and use the manual focus for more versatility. Shoot in 14-bit compressed RAW (NEF) format for the highest quality images. For true-to-life details, the COOLPIX A uses no optical low-pass filter so extreme sharpness is attained even when shooting intricate subjects. Every nuance is brought to life, letting you relive the moment with every photo.

Authentic craftsmanship

The COOLPIX A evokes the beauty of finely crafted photographic gear, where form and function go hand in hand. Built for endurance, the camera’s body is crafted from aluminium alloy and coated in magnesium alloy. Available in black or titanium silver, the COOLPIX A is a pleasure to behold as well as to use.

Performance meets simplicity

Using the COOLPIX A is a unique experience. Buttons and dials have been designed for comfort and usability. It features the same user interfaces as Nikon's D-SLRs, offering an unprecedented level of control. Versatile manual controls such as a focus ring and focus mode selector allow for precise and quick-access operation. For extra convenience, simply assign frequently used settings to customizable buttons.
