The Nikon Coolpix A is Nikon's first and only large sensor fixed lens compact camera. Released on March 5, 2013 it represents the premium flagship model of the Nikon Coolpix line. It features a 16 megapixel APS-C sized sensor and a retractable 28mm f2.8 equivalent NIKKOR Lens.
Ricoh released the first Ricoh GR only one month after the Coolpix A and both cameras have virtually the same technical specifications. Nikon never released a successor for the Coolpix A while Ricoh brought the fourth iteration of the GR in 2025.
