Nikon COOLPIX P330 Review – Verdict

Nikon COOLPIX P330 Review - front angled view

Much like the Coolpix P7700, the Nikon Coolpix P330 is only really let down by one thing, namely its ability to quickly process Raw images. It’s a particular shame here as much of the P330’s appeal is the provision of Raw capture, although if you only plan on capturing JPEGs then this is obviously less of a concern.

The good news is that, that aside, there’s much to like about the P330, not least of which its image and video quality. It’s also almost £50 cheaper than its nearest rivals, the Canon PowerShot S110 and Olympus XZ-10, despite performing similarly in many areas. Let’s just hope the next iteration will feature a superior processor, as this will really lift it above rival models.
