I spent the weekend in New York City and took the Sony RX1, Fuji X100s (with the 28mm conversion lens), and the Nikon Coolpix A. Because photography was not the priority or reason for this trip, I found myself with only the Nikon much of the time, pretty much all the time after dark. But I managed some street shooting with it mostly Friday night in and around the Times Square area. I basically used auto-ISO with a max ISO of 6400 and a minimum shutter speed of 1/250 (which there was too little light for much of the time, so the camera shot at whatever shutter speed it needed to for the available light). I also used zone focus for nearly all of these shots with a focus distance of about 2-6 feet and an aperture of between f4.5-5.6, depending on light - parts of Times Square are pretty bright. Lots of color, lots of B&W, lots of keepers, plenty of misses too (but you don't get to see those). I'm definitely buying this camera. It couldn't be more in my wheelhouse if I'd designed it myself. I'd change one or two minor things if I could tweak the firmware, but otherwise, its close to perfect for me. The full set of shots from New York (which I'll be adding lots of daytime shots and RX! and X100s shots to in the coming days) is here:

Evidently the best Falafel stand in New York City, at 53rd and 6th. HUGE lines every night...
