Nikon Coolpix P310
Nikon Coolpix P330
The new Coolpix P330 camera is actually a step in the right direction – Nikon did include a larger 1/1.7in. sensor (the Fuji X20 still has a bigger 2/3 in. sensor) with less megapixels and freshly added NRW/RAW support. The price is also right at $376.95. Here is a quick specifications comparison between the new P330 and the old P310 models:
