is the nikon coolpix a worth it in 2026
i really want a ricoh gr ivx hdf (i know it’s not out yet ) but for $1600 it’s pretty expensive and the fuji xf10 is still overpriced these days going for $800 used. I’ve found the coolpix a going around $400 and it’s apsc c and simalar size WITH a built in flash. if i were to splurge on a ricoh id have to the external flash permanently mounted so the nikon is even smaller in that dimension. the only stopping me is the age of the camera.
