Pros: Sensor with excellent performance even at high iso, sharp lens, camera body quality, simple and immediate menu, speed and ease of use.

Cons: Price, hard to find.

Opinion: If you want a compact, it's because you want it to be small enough to be able to carry it with you at all times. The size makes it literally pocket-sized, the silent shutter then really allows you to be invisible. To this, in addition to the beautiful images it generates, we add a remarkable quality of the camera body, made of metal (so resistant, not a toy) but well balanced to maintain its lightness combined with a 16.2 MP APS-C sensor. The images it produces are excellent as well as the workability of the raw files, basically you have a pocket-sized Nikon D7000 (same sensor). The 28mm equivalent lens allows a wide use, from the street to travel camera, if you want to travel light and leave the reflex or mirrorless at home without regrets. For Nikon lovers, in addition to the ease of use, a further plus: compatibility with SB flashes The AF is in line with the timing of the project and personally I have never had any problems. Also tested against a Fujifilm X70. The Fuji has been resold. She stays, for the best quality of the files and compactness of the camera body. In summary: a premium compact camera that is still up-to-date, truly pocketable and offers maximum performance.

Pros: Compactness, sensor and superb optics

Cons: Af slow, but in line with competitors, lack of standard viewfinder...

Opinion: I have been owning this little gem for a couple of years. I state that I preferred it to his other competitors, Ricoh and Fuji, for the Nikon menu, familiar to me. In addition, it mounts a sensor that I know well, that of the D7000, of which I can only speak well. Its best value? You can organize an outing in the mountains, whatever it is, without giving up photography! Often, with only the FF kit, the organization of the output is a function of that. With her no, go quiet, very light, and take home the shot. I gave her two very useful accessories, lens hood, where you can mount the filters if necessary, (occasionally used the polarizer) and the optical viewfinder, an absolutely essential accessory. Being devoid of viewfinder, I hate to compose with only display, phone style. Now, you turn quietly with the viewfinder around your neck, and she in your backpack. When you see the photo, you extract it and... The lens, a 28mm, is an absolute all-rounder. Of great value, congratulations to Nikon. Jpeg black and white beautiful as it is, Fuji style. Very workable file. Among the photos posted here, many are its fruit. The cons? The usual predictable. AF lentino, eye to raise the sensitivity too much, and when the light drops, it is she who calls her older sister into the field, who scalps in the backpack. Despite the years, it still has its why even in price. Rare and Unobtainable.

Pros: sharpness, file rendering, compactness, condizivision of Nikon accessories

Cons: AF (but it's from 2013)

Opinion: For several years I have been using the coolpix A picocla, which has replaced in my kit a Rocoh GRD3 with a small sensor. The fact of having an APS sensor (the stress of the Nikon D7000) is its best side, with a file generated with excellent sharpness, sharp, colors and an expressive fall of light at the open diaphragm edges that characterizes it. Very sharp starting from f4, it's fine even at full aperture. The AF suffers from the year 2013 project with few customizations, but still manages to compete with machines in production (e.g., from direct confonto, it is faster than the Fuji XF10). Manually it can also be used, looking at the metric scale usl monitor (but it has no fixed focus functions and the bezel easily moves inadvertently). Its 16 MPX are still current and guarantee a light and well-manageable file as per nikon tradition, even on high sensitivities, up to 3200 iso and passes. I really appreciate the compatibility of the nikon flash system and often I pair it, via cable, an SB 900 for particular situations. The synchroization on all times lends itself well to this type of use in full sun in the street. After years of use I still can not mature the idea of abandoning it (while using other more recent compact).

Pros: Compactness, lightness, silence, sharpness and Nikon menu

Cons: It can be a problem the 28mm for those who are not used to it. Autofocus in crisis in particular situations. Unavailable

Opinion: Intrigued by the reviews of those who tried it, I bought this wonderful camera used in new conditions, it was not easy to find it since given the high price in 2013 they did not sell many. So it takes a little bit of luck. It is an alternative to the Ricoh GR with a more solid appearance being all metal and is built in Japan not China. Definitely higher quality index. It offers a NIKKOR 28mm f2.8 that gives, combined with an APS sensor of 16 million pixels, photographs of great quality for sharpness and three-dimensionality, a great BN. Autofocus performs well in normal situations, in difficulty with poor light. Those who don't know it mistake it for any compact, this allows you to be invisible, fantastic for street photos. You can put it in a pocket and then you can always have it at hand. Featuring the famous Matrix metering Nikon does not miss an exhibition, but if you want you can manage everything in manual, including focus. Really fun and not annoying camera to take with you, for those who use Nikon you will find the menu of reflex. Reading on the net you will find no complaints about dirty sensor, which with so obvious on cameras with collapsible lens. Recommended if you find it used in good condition do not let it get away.

Pros: file quality, decent high iso performance, resolute lens, fast, usable macro, build quality, ergonomics and controls, dimensions from VERA compact. Focus Mode Physical Selector (M, AF, MACRO)

Cons: AF slow, difficult to work in hyperfocal, no tilting display. Find her, if you can.
