Coolpix A - More thoughts

After a three months with the Coolpix A, I actually really quite like it.  It still falls into the category of brilliant or terrible (probably just like me...), but I am really just appreciating quality in my pocket, which it achieves handsomely.  For this reason it is actually getting quite a lot of use, and it is certainly a lot more compact than my NEX 5n with any lens attached.

Low light ability is still poor compared to what I was hoping, however good light results have centainly exceeded what I was expecting too.  As I purchased it with a few scratches, I don't baby it and the tough metal body means I have less to worry about if it gets dropped. 

Compared to the Fuji X-100, in general it is sharper in good light, but falls behind in low light, and the fill in flash doesn't even compare.  But again, an X-100 isn't pocketable.

Its on trips like our little venture to Amsterdam Brewery that this camera shines.  I just kept it in my pocket and pulled it out as a photo opportunity came by, with great results.

All in all, a good purchase
