I own a Nikon Coolpix 7700 and bought this camera for my wife to replace a not so impressive plastic bodied P&S Canon that's being held together with tape. I love this P330 so much I hate to part with it! It's not another cheap plastic camera, but rather a small, dense in-the-hand, metal bodied precision instrument. It has a premium fast f1.8 (to f5.6) 5x optical zoom lens that protrudes only 1/4 inch when closed beyond the body; it is definitely pocketable. The 12 MP CMOS sensor is the same as in the Coolpix 7700/7800 models. The controls are well laid out and well marked. The 3 inch screen is bright and sharp. Everything exudes quality.I must confess to not having field tested it yet, although I've taken a few pictures around the house in the different modes. Pictures are very sharp. Menu selection allows display of the various parameters (shutter speed, aperture, flash status, histogram) but not ISO. Exposure compensation, however, can be changed +/- 3.0 stops in these auto modes to produce the saturation desired. It works well in the auto, shutter and aperture priority modes, but, unfortunately the manual mode falls short, as it does in my Coolpix P7700. Regardless of the aperture & shutter combination shown, the screen image brightness remains the same, and only when captured and displayed do you see what you've got; that's no help.Overall, however, I'm pleased with this purchase, especially at the price advertised on Amazon, which is $80+ lower than at the major photo store I frequent. I would recommend this model to anyone who values big camera performance in a pocketable size.

I have been using ancient 2006 Canon A620 P&S (back in the day A-series had PSAM modes and a decent 1/1.7" sensor) and was ready for an upgrade: everything that was good before, plus higher sensitivity, image stabilization and compactness. I considered Canon S110 and Nikon P330. The latter had a slight edge in optical quality and lower noise, so I got Nikon. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed, especially regarding "what was good before". I have tested the camera under a number of shooting conditions for ~1 week of active shooting. Problems in the order of importance:# I normally shoot in P mode, however, here it is useless. Why? Because it picks non-optimal shutter/aperture combination (or too high an ISO if left on auto ISO). It would go for 1 to 3 stops smaller aperture and would therefore need to up the exposure time and/or ISO. What good is a fast lens when camera doesn't use it? Zoom invariably results in camera selecting F/7.1 although it can do wider. Also, an unrelated issue is that maximum zoom often produces underexposed images. The above applies to Auto mode as well.# Focus sometimes lies! I was making tripod portraits. Focusing square confirmed focus on subject. However, when I reviewed the picture the subject was not in focus, but background was. Several times in a row the same problem. I gave up.# What you see is NOT what you get. The display shows images that appear much warmer (under AWB setting) than any computer monitor, and with too much backlight. Looks impressive, but quite unrealistic.# Focusing sometimes fails completely when trying a quick shot.# Menu Settings. Menu not optimized for quick changes because it goes over more than one screen. Also, as many have pointed out, the menu takes a while to appear. 'Fn' button in the front is not convenient either.# No orientation sensor.Old Canon had none of the above issues.Things I liked (but which are probably not exclusive to P330):* Wide field of view compared to old P&S* Good quality at ISO800* Excellent optical quality (slightly better than Canon S110), though not a quantum leap compared to Canon A620 and not quite like Nikon P7700* Good quality videoIn closing. This camera has great optical quality and is in principle capable of great shots, but one should be willing to spend more time and use manual settings. Otherwise, the results will be satisfying, but not optimal.(P.S. I am not loyal to any brand; used to own Nikon SLR)

I have several DSLR's. A D600, D300s, and a D200. I also have had a few point-n-shoot cameras for when I don't need the DSLR's. My Nikon P500 was very noisy at any ISO level. The Canon A620 was great until it broke but was old. This P330 is much more advanced. There are several new features including a much hight usable ISO range and the ability to shoot RAW+JPG format. RAW may not be very inportant to the average point-n-shoot user but because I shoot RAW in my DSLRs it's always in my workflow. LightRoom had no problems reading the RAW format. There are also manual modes and a interval timer which is good for time laps. The quickest setting for the interval is only 30 seconds (would have liked a 15 second option) but that is not that bad. It can also be set to take up to 120 shots in a second (although at a lower resolution) which is good for trying to capture fast moving objects like a baloon popping or milk drops at just the right time. There are two panaromic modes. One is a stitch assist and the other is a continious sweap. There is also a 3d Picture mode. This is where you take a picture and then a second one using the first to line up features. The firmware then creates a file you can view on a 3D TV or moniter. I have been able to lift this camera on my DJI Phantom quadcopter but it is at the max weight of 20g with the stock props.

April 9, 2013 - I will update this review as I continue to use this camera. Here are my initial reactions.I debated the Canon S110 and Nikon P7700 but ultimately decided to choose the P330 due to its size and positive leaning initial reviews/previews. This camera is constructed well. Some don't like the finish or material feel, but I'd like to push back and say that the whole body of the camera is well designed and feels quite solidly built. My only gripe is the battery door, but I'm willing to bet that Nikon ensured that it would survive most situations thrown at it. I like that the camera is simply a box, it looks like a camera with no frills, no gimmicks. It functions like this as well.Nikon menus are familiar to me and they are well appreciated when it comes to basic electronic usage/knowledge. The logic is good, and it just plain works. The display is bright and can be seen under sunny conditions when used. The buttons and dials deliver a satisfying click-feedback. The rubber grips on the front/back provide a lot of comfort and confidence for one handed shooting. This camera is a lot smaller than what I expected, and that's a great thing because that's why I bought it!Auto-mode seems well acquainted for people and landscape shots in decent lighting. Go in close and try macro out, you'll need to help it by setting the auto-focus to close shooting. Immediately, the camera will become a macro master in this mode. The burst mode is fast and quite impressive. My overall impression of the speed is very good considering the size of the camera. I remember when point and shoots simply couldn't take decent pictures due to their shutter speed (or lack of). You can select a shutter speed that exceeds any allowance of light entrance, to me, that's impressive.The flash is very intense and quick, mostly good for those situations where there is no alternative light source and you're taking a picture of a medium range subject. I actually found that in most cases, it wasn't needed at all. The camera lens takes up a lot of work for lower light situations. This makes me appreciate the fact that the flash is opened by a mechanical switch, because it helps me decided whether or not its needed, instead of the camera making a bad decision for me.Video is impressive and the VR really improves any jellies that might come about. I'm impressed by the quality and autofocus. Really excellent stuff, Nikon.Overall, this camera is really great for someone who appreciates DSLR quality but doesn't want to haul all their gear with them all the time. Would highly recommend so far.

I previously owned two Canon Powershot cameras, and I had absolutely zero problems with them over a 7 year period. I recently purchased a Nikon D5100, so decided to stick with Nikon for my next point and shoot. The P330 seemed to offer all the features I wanted, and the initial reviews seemed positive. The camera took nice pictures, but the body of the camera felt cheap since it was plastic, compared to the metal bodies of the Powershot cameras.Several months ago I got a "lens error" with the P330, so I sent it in for a warranty repair. I received the camera back just prior to the expiration of the warranty, and now the flash is not working. I contacted Nikon about getting the camera repaired again, and now they are quoting me a $109.00 repair fee. This is very bothersome, as this is how they sent the camera back to me. Do they even bother to check whether the camera functions before they return it to the customer? The camera has never been dropped or handled roughly, so two major camera problems in several weeks is unacceptable.I will never buy a Nikon point and shoot again...

I can't categorize myself as professional photographer,but I know a thing or two about composition, focus, and aperture control. I am an avid enthusiast. The Nikon Coolpix P330 failed me on all categories. I bought it in the morning, just to be returned the same night.I've owned similar cams before like the Canon S95, and most recently the Sony HX30V (and I thought that was bad), the Sony was an "angel in comparison". Now that I am done with my ranting, I will be objective.1- I could not get ONE single shot of my toddler with out the blur. The AF is slowwww with an emphasis on the sssss. The shutter speed is inadequate. And the images, to my surprise, do not compare to anything acceptable.2- In a household condition, normal house light: if using a flash, it would be over exposed with dark backgrounds, if no flash, then the picture is grainy or dark. I thought this device had a 1.24 sensor, but it seems not to par with other similar cameras and brand.3- Nikon itself does not recommend continuous AF during movie shooting, the reason being: YOU CAN HEAR THE MECHANICS IN THE VIDEO.4- I can hear the camera zoom. As if the gears are of an industrial nature (exaggerating), rather than being quite like a consumer product.5- Too intense of a flash, which is not helpful in most family pictures.6- Shot-to-shot is very slow, you can almost nap between them. The only way to get around that if you get a 95bps Extreme Pro SD card. (which is very pricey)7- The cable for power charging and AV are Nikon proprietary. You would think you can use a common ISB cable for connecting to the charger, but NO.8- Nikon menu is bleak in comparison with Canon and Sony.9- You have to download the pdf user manual.10- I'll go back to my first pet peeve: One clear picture of my toddler, for every 5 shots taken !!Notes:(I ended up with Canon G15, and could not be happier)(I considered Canon SX280, Nikon coolpix S9500, Canon S110, Canon G1x, Nikon J3/S1/V2/J1)(The Sony DSC-HX30V was a nice camera, but the images where always dark, reddish, or over saturated)Final thoughtDid I mention that the P330 was slowwwww? (Shutter, AF, Recording, etc.)

I made my purchase after comparing reviews and specs with Canon and others in the same price range.I returned it due to AF problems--green AF indicator indicates focused subject but when reviewed on monitor the focus was usually the background. I tested it under different settings and scenes but same results or just plain inconsistent.Also, the camera is actually slow, shot-to-shot and when transitioning from camera to movie (or vice versa). Wasn't really impressed. At this price range some would expect WIFI built into the device, instead you have to buy a Nikon adapter (~$50) if you want that capability. This is not a big deal for some until you actually start to use a camera that has WIFI built-in--especially convenient when traveling and sharing on the fly.IQ is just okay; it's like any other point and shoot, really, unimpressive, and It's not worth the premium if you ask me. If I'm buying a P&S I don't expect much in terms of IQ but i think the extra cost of this camera is for censor/IQ and so one would expect it to be better. Others might have their opinions on this, and your experience may vary, but I'm convinced that if you want great IQ shots use a DSLR. P&S are for fast, fun shots and convenience when traveling.Honestly, I really wanted this camera to work. I like Nikon cameras; I have a Nikon DSLR and I love it. My last point and shoot which i still have is a Canon SD630 and it's great, too. So, believe you me, I was hesitant when I decided to buy the Samsung WB250f to replace the P330 but, for all the reasons above and half the price, I couldn't be happier, so far.

Took this camera on a vacation to Sweden in the extremely cold month of January 2014. Didn't have time to "learn" the camera since I took it new, straight out of the box. Realized what the camera could and couldn't do in the first hours of shooting - it is a point and shoot after all.After the first day of "testing" I discovered: 1) The correct flash to subject distance for ultimate flash coverage. 2) The extreme value of the Hand Held 3-exposure Night Setting. 3) Focusing with telephoto - going past minimum focus distance. 4) Using the macro setting properly. 5) And if I was lazy, switching it to Auto Scene Mode.This camera took awesome night shots on our subarctic cruise in extreme weather. I also used the Sports mode extensively for higher shutter speeds and for rapid fire captures. The video feature, perfect.After 3000 captures, I say: "What a fantastic camera." And: Nikon brand batteries are way cheaper than Canon (I took 3 batteries). Only thing I didn't like was the "Raise the Flash" warning that popped up every time I used the Auto Scene mode. By the way... the pics turned out extremely sharp and the colors awesome.

If you are a DSLR shooter looking for a reasonably priced compact that takes great pictures, put the Coolpix P330 on your shopping list. Images are significantly better than Nikon's Coolpix S8100, S8200, S9100, S9200 series and Canon's S95 series (have not used S110 or S120) Familiar buttons/functions for Nikon shooters including Fn, auto-ISO and S, A, M and P modes. Delivers rich, well balanced, eye popping colors, very sharp images and exceptional skin tones. Found best IQ for casual shooting is in P Mode, Auto-ISO 80-400 and Flash -0.3 EV. ISO to 800 is excellent. Suggest shoot in RAW and process in Lightroom. Shot-to-shot recovery time is quite sensitive to SD card. Using SanDisk Extreme 45 MB/sec took about 2 seconds between shots while using their 30MB/second card took about 6 seconds. Cons: no viewfinder and consumes battery quickly. Pick up 2nd battery (I got two + car/house charger from Wasabi for $20). Overall an excellent camera for DSLR shooters looking for a pocket-able camera that produces excellent, near DSLR images for under three hundred dollars. Check ADORAMA Nikon refurbished currently seventy dollars less.

I purchased this camera prior to a long trip to europe. It was between this and the comparable canon. I am not a huge camera enthusiast, so i can't give you or even understand the real fine details that others have posted. From my perspective.* It had GPS, which i really wanted on our trip. I will say that it was difficult to get it to lock on all the time* The lens was just a little faster than the canon, and i knew i would be inside buildings and churches in low light and wished to maximize the low light. I was incredibly pleased at the quality of pictures in dark areas an no flash.* Again, because i was in low light areas, i wanted to take pictures in raw format so that i would have maximum flexibility to lighten and touch up pictures taken in almost dark, later.*And as importantly as anything i wanted to drop this camera in my pocket.*Lastly there has been complaints that it takes time to write the picture to the sim. This is true, it lags a bit. It didn't bother me or get in my way. But that probably is because of my requirements. If this is important to you - then you need to consider this.It met all my requirements. The pictures were excellent. I had no issues with using buttons rather than a touch screen - in fact that is my preference. It is a solid, lightweight camera that takes what i consider high end quality pictures.The only issue i had, as mentioned, is that the GPS was spotty. However, it worked for a majority of our pics and were well worth it.

I have 41 years of experience in photography. Since 1977 I have been using only SLR cameras. Coolpix P330 is not an SLR camera; I bought it as a birthday present for my wife, who wanted to have a small camera that would easily fit in her purse. Obviously, and SLR camera would not fit in a purse. So after a careful choice I picked P330. My wife is quite happy with this camera, and so am I. In terms of sensor sensitivity and picture quality this camera can beat many SLR-s that were made seven to nine years ago. Also after about six months of use we found no serious problems. It is convenient and easy to use for a non-professional.

This is my first Nikon camera. I am very pleased. Very nice features and programs for a pocket camera. The software is very user friendly. The battery has enough power to last all day. On vacation recently I probably made 40-50 shots per day. It has a program for almost every lighting and action level that makes it really easy to just point and shoot. However you must accept that an auto focus has it's limitations in extreme situations. You must lightly press the shutter button on each shot and give it time to focus. in dim light you may need to do it 2-3 times until it focuses correctly.

The little fact that a special charging cable is needed to recharge the battery has become a major annoyance over time. It uses a generic USB charger but the cable doesn't have a micro-USB plug but a plug that looks nearly identical but is incompatible. This means you'll need to carry a dedicated cable just to charge the camera. Had I known how annoying this got I would have picked the Canon over the Nikon.Otherwise the camera is a fine P&S camera. I ended up never using the GPS feature mainly because it would just drain the batteries unnecessarily.

Granted, I've only had it for an hour - but I have been trying it out on various subjects that are still and moving, in both well lit and poorly lit rooms. I'm disappointed to say that it doesn't focus very well when available light is low. I'm a pro photographer looking for a decent quality point & shoot for when I don't want to lug my big camera around. I feel like I'm probably going to send this back but I'll take another day to play. Disappointed.UPDATEI returned the camera. The focus was ridiculously horrible and unacceptable. Focused on exactly what I didn't want it to.

I usually use Sony or Canon but I tried my first Nikon. I had a Canon G12 very nice but almost as large as my Sony Nex 6So I sold that and went for this. Build is good and Optional Wifi is a plus.Image seem very good. No it's not going to replace you Dslr or ever mirror less. But for under $300 this is a very good P&SI was think about the Sony RX100 but could not justify that cost.I think you wont be disappointed with this unit given the cost

If you had a P300 you were probably very happy with it. P300 always took very good low light photos, but there was a lot of noise processing, making pictures somewhat soft. P330 with a larger sensor and options to regulate noise reduction help make photos even better. I was not near US so I couldn't buy the camera from Amazon, I bought it in Hong Kong.... for about $20 more. I also considered Olympus XZ-10, as they had it available in Hong Kong. It is a nice camera, but I found some sample pics on the internet that raised concerns about quality of daytime pics in bright light. So I chose to stay loyal to Nikon and I don't regret it. I haven't had too much time to test it fully, but so far I am impressed with speed of focus, excellent macro, great low light capability. Only thing I would trade is GPS for a function ring on the front. Build quality is fantastic. Overall, especially for the price and compactness, a great pocket camera.I did notice some comments regarding the power button. I have no fingernails to speak of, and I have zero problems turning the camera on. Yes, you have to give it a solid press... it is a mechanism to prevent the camera from turning on in you pocket by an accidental press (your finger will go on the power button when you pull it out of the pocket), possibly breaking the lens. There is a slight lag in the first set of menus, but once you get in the menu there is no lag, in any case that can be resolved by a firmware update. I think the quality is great. Camera turns on quickly, playback is instant. No issues. In the end, in this segment people are in it for the compactness & picture quality. I think this camera delivers great value for the price.I just found this link so I wanted to add it [...] It may help with the decision. I am glad I chose the P330.

I gave this camera three stars because it had a lot of features I liked and the few test shots that I took with it were pretty good; however there was one issue I just couldn't get past so I returned it. I purchased this camera to supplement my DSLR since I wanted something a little more portable and more importantly something that took short videos. The problem with this camera was that there is a small motor that is ALWAYS running and can be heard in any video taken. I tried turning everything possible off (I assumed it was the auto focus motor making the noise) but nothing I did got rid of the noise. I called NIKON and they said it shouldn't be making any noise so I exchanged it for another camera (same model), but that one did the exact same thing. I ended up returning it and purchasing a Canon G15 and I am really happy with that camera.

Pros:-It takes a clearer photo and has much less background noise for portrait type stills than the Panasonic Lumix point & shoot cameras I'd been using.-The flash is a quick flip, rather than a setting. It's convenient and visually obvious.-It has a rubberized finger rest on the front.-It's fairly easy to use.Cons:-It has a noisy "click" when shooting. I don't think there is a "shut off" for the sound.-It's slow to open up.-The battery charger isn't able to charge (my extra battery) outside the camera, while I am using the camera.-The charger is compact and actually fits in a small camera case, but the cord does't fit.-The lens cover doesn't open occasionally and I have to help it open.-It's boxy and does't feel anywhere near as nice as a small Panasonic Lumix.

This is a great camera, but I had thought that the newer version, the P340, would be just as great, but with the addition of wifi. As it turns out, at least in my opinion, this has a tad more clearer, sharper images than the P340, so that's why I kept this one. I highly recommend it as the wifi is a minor sacrifice to give up for consistently crispier images.

I am a professional photographer and educator—in the field for over 20 years, and in the classroom for the last 4. I have been looking for a "compact" point and shoot camera that processes a RAW image file. The P330 is that and more. Truly "pocketable" and the image quality from a fully processed RAW file is impeccable. I had looked at the P7100, 7000 and others. The size and weight of those units take them out of the "pocket–point & shoot" variety very quickly, and the large sensor CoolPix A is not cost effective. This camera P330) has all the functionality I need in the palm of my hands. I love it. . . . bgs.

So far so good. Going to use it for digiscoping. Still setting it up with a mechanical shutter release. One star off for not having a remote shutter release, but, knew that going in, so maybe it should only be a 1/2 star off. Takes good pics through the scope when there is no movement associated with the taking of the picture. Will start to get the "Dawn" test in another week or so when the weather gets a bit better around here.

I purchased this camera over the Canon S110/120. The images produced by the P330 are great. The optics, larger sensor & f 1.8 lens all help. The camera is solid and has a nice heft to it. The assignable function button is a nice feature as well as a dedicated wheel on the top of the camera for adjusting settings. Priced under $280 this is an enthusiasts pocket camera that seems to fly under the radar. I have owned a Canon S95 and feel that at the current price of the S120 at over $400, cannot find it a better option than the P330 with very similar attributes. Aside from no touchscreen and lack of built in wi-fi (neither of which are important to me, although the P330 does have GPS) this Nikon is a powerful camera that deserves consideration and is a bargain in its class at this price.
