Coolpix A vs Sony RX100

I bought this camera clearly knowing what it lacked and what the strong points were, I bought this camera seeing if it would replace my rx100 and after using them both it did not end up replacing my rx100 due to what I use the rx100 for, me and my girlfriend uses it. I use the PASM modes and my girlfriend uses superior auto, please read below of what this camera is suited for and what it isn't suited for.
Please understand they do not really compete with one another although you can make relatively comparable comparisons.
There is no argument at ~$1000 the coolpix A does in fact have a larger image sensor than the ~$600 rx100. Using the Coolpix A what really bugs me is the lack of actual zoom on this thing and the slow autofocus on this thing as well. Lastly there is an annoying thing where there is a little switch on the side to switch to between: macro, auto focus and manual focus.
** The lack of image stabilization is another bad thing the RX100 lens does have image stabilization.
RX100 advantages does have faster auto focus, in superior auto you do not need to physically hit a switch to go in between macro and auto focus. (it does what it suppose to do auto detect that its a macro picture or other scene options)
** The Macro on the RX100 is also significantly better as well, I prefer the macro on the RX100 as I can get a closer shot to the object before the focus does not work anymore.
But do realize in real world situations a faster auto focus, image stabilization will generally snap you a better picture than a camera with slower auto focus especially when you are using auto mode on these two cameras.
** Where the RX100 shines is the faster auto focus being able to snap multiple pictures at once and choosing the best picture of the bunch it snaps. To me if you want an all around camera the RX100 would be the definite choice but if you are maybe just taking pictures of landscapes or non moving pictures on a tripod the Coolpix A might be a better choice.
If you google rx100 vs coolpix a you'll find spec comparisons and reasons why you might wind up loving the RX100 over the coolpix A.
