Nikon Coolpix A with APS-C sensor announced:
Nikon has recently announced a new camera aimed at professional photographers who want a compact shooter, the Coolpix A – Nikon’s first APS-C sensor compact camera.

What Nikon has done here is they took a point-and-shoot body then equipped it with a DX-format CMOS sensor which are found in some of Nikon’s own DSLRs. So what you’re expected to get from the Coolpix A are rendering capabilities that Nikon claims to be comparable to those of DSLRs plus the advantages of having a compact body.
