Pros

Nikon Coolpix P330 is capable of producing stunning HD videos. Since it has a wide aperture when zooming out, it is able to capture more light which results in better image quality. Keep in mind this camera has the fastest lens in the Coolpix camera category.

 

Thanks to the in-built GPS feature, you can conveniently record the pictures you take at every destination, helping you record even more vivid memories. What’s more Nikon Coolpix P330 can record videos in raw mode, essentially capturing raw and unmodified photos.

 

By using High-Sensitive CMOS sensors, the low light performance abilities of this camera are greatly heightend. For this reason, users have an option of using a flash or not. Unless you are in a very dim place, you can take flawless photos with this camera without having to turn on the flash.

 

Finally Wi-Fi compatibility goes a long way in enabling users to not only connect to this camera wirelessly but to also easily share their photos and videos with other devices such as smartphones, iPhones and iPads.

 

Cons

Nikon Coolpix P330 often slows down if you zoom in while using it particularly on raw mode. This can make it increasingly boring to use especially if you are more used to faster cameras. Secondly, at 200 shots per charge, this camera clearly displays a shorter battery life than a good number of its competitors.

Nikon Cookpix P330 doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi.

 

Conclusion

Nikon Coolpix P330 produces outstanding, sharp and accurate videos and photos. However it is rather slow. That is a factor that may not appeal to some photographers.
