RX100 has nearly 2x larger sensor 13.2x8.8mm vs 8.8x6.6mm
RX100 has 20MP vs 12MP
RX100 has 1200k display vs 460k
RX100 is actually brighter at the wider end although darker at longer end F1.8-F4.9...

How can this come so close to the mighty RX100? - 77% vs 78%
And why can it not be compared to the RX100? they are the same category and similar price ranges

Yes, it's weird, man.

Judging by Nikon's pricing policy, the optional finder for $450, I wouldn't be surprised if an adapter thread would adds $150 to the price. Hehe.

Why do I call the RX100 a revolution:
Size - hugely important to allow you to have with you as often as possible;
Quality - the lens and sensor are extremely good and specifically designed to work...

I am definitely not a Sony fanboy, in fact, all cameras I have ever bought prior to my NEX 5n and RX100 are Nikon. Several compacts and a DSLR, amongst which the P2 (a beautiful compact camera that...

I am sure Nikon perfectly understand this, they are just protecting their entry level DSLR line.

A lot of noise by the Nikon fanboys.
I think I have seen all this already ... oh yes, it was the 1 system release. There was a lot of noise, many publications (suspiciously positive and hyping)...

@ marike6
But Nikon fanboys are getting more and more rare these days. There are not enough people for Nikon to maintain two separate lines.

For people who care about video - the RX100, more compact and lighter, zoom lens and 60p vs 30p on the Coolpix A

Is there optical stabilization at all here??

The P330 has the VR designation, but I can not see on the Coolpix A?!?

Is there optical stabilization, I know it is 18mm but at this price??

The RX100 is:
Lens is faster F1.8 vs F2.8
Lens is a zoom with great quality
Battery is +50% more shots !!!
Better LCD 1.2kwhitemagic vs 0.9k dots
Body is 20% lighter
Body is 10% smaller
Video has...

Keep in mind that the RX100 lens is F1.8 at the widest!

And the imminent RX10 of course ...

Poor strategic move by Nikon, otherwise not a bad camera by itself.

If it had come out INSTEAD of the 1 system I would have bought it. But got tired of waiting for Nikon to make a mirror-less...

@ yabokkie
"many people use f/2.8 zooms as standard on 35mm format and APS-C's need f/1.8 to get the same result"
Yes, they do, but have you seen the SIZE of those things?!?
Why get a NEX camera if...
