It's a big picture, but in reality the Optio 330 is about
half the size of how the image above will look on your screen. It measures
just 92 x 62 x 31 mm (3.6 x 2.4 x 1.2 in) and that makes it only just
bigger than Kyocera's tiny S3. The Optio 330 was first
announced back on the 29th of May, although we saw shots / leaks of
it early than that. It's an ultra-compact, steel cased, three megapixel,
three times optical zoom digital camera with it's own proprietary Lithium-Ion
rechargeable battery and a Compact Flash Type I slot.
The Optio 330 is clearly aimed as a pocketable 'take
anywhere' digital camera which can still deliver high resolution and a
usable 3x optical zoom. Just to add to the mix Pentax also recently revealed
the Optio 430, a four megapixel version of the Optio 330.
Review notes: This will be one of the first of our
new "concise review" style, still substantially more information
than you'll find elsewhere but more concise and to the point than our normal
in-depth reviews. We will reserve these short reviews for either pocket
sized and / or low featured digital cameras.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
