Sensor
Nikon uses Sensor of Nikon 7000 / D5100 DSLR ,
The fujifilm features newly developed X-Trans CMOS sensor, the fujifilm X100s sensor is completly redesigned and features Phase AF points within the sensor
so you get a approx 4 year old sensor technology in Nikon coolpix A, I don’t know why Nikon used old 16Mp sensor since it already have high performance 24Mp APS-C sensor from Sony and Toshiba.
