Nikon Coolpix A vs Fujifilm X100S, take a look at the high-end APS-C sensor compact specification comparison and share your thoughts with us.
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.
Lens
Fujifilm features better / bright lens compared to Nikon coolpix A.
No-Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF) – Both Camera features No-Optical low pass filter.
Auto Focus –
Nikon features Contrast detect AF system, for still and video mode.
The Fujifilm X100s features Phase AF + Contrast AF (Hybrid AF), the Fuji X100s offers 0.08 second of AF Speed.
During Movie mode Fujifilm X100s Phase-detect AF effective for movie shooting.
Top Continuous Shooting Speed – Fujifilm features fast continuous shooting speed.
Video Mode
Fujfilm X100s offers you 1080p 60fps Full HD recording with Phase AF, Nikon coolpix A is limited to 30fps at Full HD mode and have contrast detect AF.
14bit RAW Support – both features 14bit RAW Support
Price Difference– Fujifilm X100S will cost you approx $250+ compared to Nikon coolpix A
Conclusion
Based on specification comparison review we recommend Fujifilm X100S.
Sony NEX7n may be announced on April 2013 according to latest rumors, the camera will feature advance Hybrid AF,touch screen and WiFi but No in-built GPS.

we will update you soon as we get any new information.
Just few days ago Japanese photographic magazine Nippon said that Canon 70D is coming on March 2013, (see the full list of predictions here) , Now according to latest rumors coming from different sources Canon is expected to announce Canon 70D on March 22 2013.
Invites for press March 21, 2013 in the Czech Republic, can be seen below.
Nikon finally announced the Nikon P330 camera, the camera have RAW support, WiFi(optional) and built in GPS as the previous version was missing, other features include 12.2MP 1/1.7″ newly developed BSI CMOS Sensor, newly designed 24-120mm NIKKOR Lens and a 3D Photo Mode.
Nikon Coolpix A is a camera with a big WOW factor, it features 16.2MP ‘DX’ format CMOS sensor, 28mm fixed F2.8 lens, no optical low-pass filter for super sharp images and standard ISO range of 100-6400, expandable upto 12,800 and 25,600. take a look at the major specification below
Nikon Coolpix A Major Specification
16.2MP ‘DX’ format CMOS sensor
18.5mm (28mm equivalent) F2.8 lens
ISO 100-6400 (with 12,800 and 25,600 equivalent extension settings)
3.0″ 920k dot LCD
14-bit uncompressed NEF Raw shooting capability
Up to 4fps continuous shooting
1080p movies at 24, 25 or 30fps
i-TTL compatible hotshoe
The all-glass 18.5mm (28mm equivalent) prime lens has an f/2.8 aperture, allowing users to shoot with a shallow depth of field to blur backgrounds for professional-looking photos. Even when the sun goes down, the lens offers the ability to turn a fleeting glance into a flattering moonlit portrait with just a press of the shutter. Always ready for the spontaneous moment, the camera’s quick AF performance and 4 frames-per-second (fps) burst help users to consistently capture any moment with outstanding image quality.
COOLPIX A also offers advanced settings to allow shooters to have complete creative control to master nearly any shooting situation. With multiple Scene Modes, a familiar manual focus ring, full manual exposure controls (P,S,A,M), and the ability to shoot RAW/NEF image files, even a simple snapshot can be transformed into artistic expression.
The COOLPIX A will be available in March 2013 for a suggested retail price (SRP) of $1099.95 and will be offered in Black and Silver.
latest press release from Canon say they are developing new sensor exclusively for video. Take a look at the image details below.
Press Release TOKYO, March 4, 2013—Canon Inc. announced today that the company has successfully developed a high-sensitivity 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor exclusively for video recording. Delivering high-sensitivity, low-noise imaging performance, the new Canon 35 mm CMOS sensor*1 enables the capture of Full HD video even in exceptionally low-light environments.
The newly developed CMOS sensor features pixels measuring 19 microns square in size, which is more than 7.5-times the surface area of the pixels on the CMOS sensor incorporated in Canon’s top-of-the-line EOS-1D X and other digital SLR cameras. In addition, the sensor’s pixels and readout circuitry employ new technologies that reduce noise, which tends to increase as pixel size increases. Thanks to these technologies, the sensor facilitates the shooting of clearly visible video images even in dimly lit environments with as little as 0.03 lux of illumination, or approximately the brightness of a crescent moon—a level of brightness in which it is difficult for the naked eye to perceive objects. When recording video of astral bodies, while an electron-multiplying CCD,*2 which realizes approximately the same level of perception as the naked eye, can capture magnitude-6 stars, Canon’s newly developed CMOS sensor is capable of recording faint stars with a magnitude of 8.5 and above.*3
Using a prototype camera employing the newly developed sensor, Canon successfully captured a wide range of test video,*4 such as footage recorded in a room illuminated only by the light from burning incense sticks (approximately 0.05–0.01 lux) and video of the Geminid meteor shower. The company is looking to such future applications for the new sensor as astronomical and natural observation, support for medical research, and use in surveillance and security equipment. Through the further development of innovative CMOS sensors, Canon aims to expand the world of new imaging expression.
Canon Marketing Japan Inc. will be exhibiting a prototype camera that incorporates the newly developed 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor and sample footage captured with the camera at SECURITY SHOW 2013, which will be held from Tuesday, March 5, to Friday, March 8, at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center in Tokyo, Japan.
An imaging element (aspect ratio: 16:9) that supports the largest image circle size possible when shooting with a Canon EF lens.
A CCD sensor with a readout mechanism that multiplies electrons after being converted from light. Applications include nighttime surveillance and the capture of astral bodies and nighttime nature scenes.
The brightness of a star decreases 2.5-times with each 1 magnitude increase.
Recording of test video footage was made possible through cooperation from ZERO Corporation.
