I had to return the P330 but was stuck between the Coolpix A (imported) and the NEX-5T, which both are around the same price. I like the Coolpix A but aside from the fix(prime lens), you would also need to buy a wifi adapter. Downers.
The NEX-5T was good, but the EVF and dial modes on the NEX-6 was a no brainer. BUT, I found out that the A6000 will be coming out soon, and will have everything the NEX-6 has plus few added features like higher resolution, more focus points, etc. But at the same time, it is about $800. More than what I originally wanted to spend. I mean for just a couple more hundreds i could get a D7100 DSLR.
So I decided that I would opt to just exchange the P330 for the P340. And so far I'm really glad with the decision. Main difference between the two are the built-in WiFi (aside from transferring images, you can also control and take photos using a compatible phone- I use an iphone 5 and didn't have problems connecting, transferring and taking pics using my phone. Another is the control ring, where you can assign it's function from zoom to focus to aperture. And I really like that feature. It adds manual control of the camera.I kinda don't like that when you use it for focusing the image on the display zooms in to the area of focus and then zooms out when you're about to press the shutter, but I can live with that. I also noticed better/faster focusing on the P340 than the P330, as well as better image quality overall than the P330.
This is my first impression so far, with just a few hours of play with the P340. I like the build quality, the user-friendly controls, the color, the simplicity. Cons for the P340 are the relatively slow writing of images, slow menu navigation/processing of changes, double confirmation prior to deleting images (which may be a good thing but I wish I could turn the double confirmation on/off), manual focus with the control ring or the in-camera controls, and relatively low battery life.
Overall, I would still recommend the P340 for those looking for an affordable, quality-built compact camera with built-in wifi, RAW and full manual control,
The Good:
-Takes excellent very sharp high quality pictures.
-Dim natural light performance is excellent.
The Not So Good:
-Strobe is too weak for anything but very near field pics but not unexpected for a package this small.
-Very small size a double edged sword. Hard to hold comfortably but certainly very convenient. I also have a D90 & D3200 so convenience, at least for me, is the reason d'etre for buying it.
The Ugly:
-Has a USB interface for charging & downloading but must use the included Nikon wall cube to charge it. It will not charge from a generic USB power supply including those rated twice what the Nikon adapter is rated at. Worse, it will not charge from a relatively large USB backup battery or the USB power outlets in my car. All these devices successfully charge all my other USB devices, including our two power hungry Kindle Fires, so there is no excuse for not charging the P340. This means unless there is a 120VAC outlet available the P340 does not get charged. It also means I have to carry more charging hardware when I travel instead of the generic devices that previously handled everything. Because of this reason alone I am sorry I bought the P340.
***UPDATE***
Yesterday I tried charging the P340 in my car from a different USB adapter (one that plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet). This time it did indeed charge. Not sure why it did not work with one (no particular brand name) and does work with another (ridicuously expensive adapter with the BMW logo on it). This is good because I know I can recharge the P340 when no 120VAC outlet is present but I am still not changing the overall rating because there is no good reason a USB interface should not be universal and work with any USB adapter, especially a USB backup battery. Even if a generic USB adapter is rated less than the Nikon adapter the only consequence should be a long battery charge duration. That is the way it works with virtually every one of the many other USB based devices we have including our Kindle Fires that require a robust charging source.
***UPDATE #2***
Had oppurtunity to us ethe P340 extensively. Took 184 pictures over the course of about 6 hours, about 10% using the strobe, before I noticed the battery icon indicating a low battery. I was satified with this performance.
