I realize this thread is 7-8 months old, but this camera has come back to the forefront for me because I recently found another 330 HS on ebay for $50. The seller didn't have a battery to test it so was selling "as is" complete with box and everything that was included when it was new. I sold mine some time ago, having gotten caught up in the G7X/G7X II frenzy, but recently saw some shots taken with one, and remembered what an outstanding little camera it is. Once it arrived in the mail, I put a battery in (I have a whole host of batteries from the many cameras I seem to continuously buy and sell!), and it works perfectly! It's also in excellent cosmetic condition as well. I'm always amazed at the sharpness of the lens and the amount of detail the camera captures. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of the Olympus Stylus Epic (Mju II) in that it's a simple point and shoot camera in a very compact body with an outstanding lens that consistently yields excellent results. It really is an example of everything coming together just right!

No problems, I still got notified!!

You would have noticed that my shots were all in pretty much ideal conditions. i like to travel to sunny destinations a lot at least partly because they get me the kind of pictures i like. This camera is so good for travelers - tiny but still with a 10X zoom. I hope to post more images taken with the Canon P330 after the Memorial day. But I believe against most of the recent 1" sensor cameras, its image quality viewed at 100% will be competitive but not quite as good.

Your C&C of the pictures I posted will be appreciated.

Here are the SOOC ELPH 330 photos I promised to upload after the Memorial Day weekend. I used the super vivid mode for all of them. And just for comparison, I also shot the same scenes using a Nikon D600 + Nikon 28-300mm lens. All the D600 photos are SOOC jpegs except the ones from the Red Rock Canyon where I pp'd them a little to crank up the vibrance, saturation, contrast and sharpness. Each ELPH photo is followed by the Nikon D600 image just below it for ease of comparison. Please let me know your thoughts.
