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.
