Nikon Coolpix-A long term review

I've been using my Coolpix-A for years now, and I have to say it's been an absolute joy. I'm usually shooting film cameras or my Sony Alpha 6400 for video, but for moments of overseas travel or just going to the park with some mates, this has been my go-to, because of this, I've shot some of my most favorite candid personal moments of my life, and that's what I think this camera is best for. We can sit here and discuss all its limitations, and I'm not saying it doesn't have any. But you have to remember that this is a point-and-shoot camera with an amazing APS-C sensor, which does make it a little bit chunkier, but not in a bad way, as I have larger hands. I do wish it had a bigger front grip. This is probably my biggest gripe. The 18.5mm lens is nothing special either, super usable for any moment, and nice and wide for street photography. There was a while when I was using this camera where I was a little disappointed, but that's because I was trying to use it for some photography projects. However, this is asking too much for this little camera. If you start to use this camera for documenting your own life and walking around doing street photography, you will fall in love with it. I would like to see how it would compare to the Ricoh GR series cameras, but I don't think that I will ever sell this camera, as I'm too attached.
