Key Advantages

The Nikon Coolpix 950 offers a unique swivel design that enhances compositional flexibility. It has a 2.1 MP sensor providing detailed images relative to other cameras of its generation. The 3x optical zoom allows moderate close-ups without significant loss of quality. It supports multiple image formats which aid in post-processing versatility. CompactFlash storage was a reliable and relatively large capacity media at the time. The camera also featured manual exposure controls, appealing to users wanting more photographic control.

Limitations

Compared to modern cameras, the Nikon Coolpix 950 has a relatively low resolution of 2.1 megapixels. Its image sensor technology is outdated, limiting low-light performance and dynamic range. The LCD screen is small and monochrome, lacking live preview capability. Battery life is limited and uses now less common AA batteries. Image processing speed and storage writing speed are slow by today's standards. The camera body is bulky and heavy compared to modern compact cameras.
