As well as being compared against other pro digicams and compacts, the Nikon Coolpix P330 is also often compared to travel zooms and mirrorless. The Nikon Coolpix P330's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix P340 and the 1 V1) and Canon (such as the PowerShot SX240 HS and the PowerShot SX280 HS)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon P330 compared to other pro digicam competitors include: it has a slightly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm), is newer (march 2013 vs september 2012), has a built-in GPS, has a faster max shutter speed (1/4000 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second) and significantly longer exposures (60 seconds vs 15 seconds).
However, on average it slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (3,200 ISO vs 12,800 ISO), doesn't have a touch screen, doesn't have a screen which flips out, has a significantly shorter battery life (200 shots vs 340 shots) and doesn't support an external flash.
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon P330 compared to other compact competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/1.8 vs f/2.7), has a much wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 34 mm), has a slightly larger screen (3" vs 2.5"), has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 230k dots) and has better image stabilization (lens vs none).
However, on average it is slightly larger (compact (103×58×32 mm) vs compact (90×57×27 mm)), doesn't have an OLED screen (LCD vs OLED), is thicker (1.3" vs 1") and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon P330 compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a much wider aperture (f/1.8 vs f/3.5), has a built-in GPS, has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 461k dots), takes slightly higher resolution photos (12 MP vs 9.6 MP) and has a faster max shutter speed (1/4000 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
However, on average it has a slightly shorter battery life (200 shots vs 260 shots) and is older (march 2013 vs january 2015).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon P330 compared to mirrorless interchangeable-lens competitors include: it has better image stabilization (lens vs none), is newer (march 2013 vs september 2011), has a built-in GPS, has a CMOS-family sensor (CMOS vs LIVEMOS) and is slightly lighter (200 g vs 418 g).
However, on average it doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs digital), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 1,200 fps), doesn't have a touch screen, doesn't shoot as fast continuously (10 fps vs 60 fps) and doesn't have a screen which flips out.
