  Digital Cameras - Nikon CoolPix 950 Digital Camera Review
The Coolpix 950 is the first digicam in Nikon's line of popular digital cameras to break the 2-megapixel barrier, boasting a 1/2-inch, 2.11-megapixel CCD capable of producing prints as large as 8 x 10 inches.
Nikon advertises the case as being made of magnesium, and it appears that this is indeed the case (no pun intended), the metal body conveying a very solid "feel" to the unit.
The CoolPix 950 though, provides a readout of both the shutter speed and lens aperture in the LCD viewfinder when the appropriate option is selected, as shown in the screen shot at right.

Users of the Coolpix 950 have a choice of three resolution modes: 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768 and 640 x 480, as well as automatic, shutter or aperture priority settings, a sensitivity gain control (the digital equivalent of using faster film) and a 5-mode tailored curve selection for printing or monitor display.
Coolpix 700 incorporates many of the key attributes of the Coolpix 950 including Nikon's exclusive 256-element matrix metering system, the choice of two resolution settings (1600 x 1200 and 640 x 480), fast two-second start up/save times and high-speed continuous shooting modes.

 Nikon Coolpix 950 Review: 1. Intro: Digital Photography Review
Since the story broke back in mid--February, the Nikon Coolpix 950 (referred to as the 950 from now onwards) has generated a fever which has gripped the digital photography world on the Internet, firstly with its announcement and the rush from the major websites to publish as much information as possible.
Then, suddenly 900s's were in short supply, with rumours that Nikon were having production problems they finally announced that they were no longer producing the 900s...
Coming from such a strong stable the 950 has an important job to do for Nikon and there are high expectations in the market for this camera (not least represented by the frantic messaging on rec.photo.digital of estimated delivery dates for the camera - almost as bad as when Sony released the D700).

 Nikon Coolpix 950
Nikon appears to be aware of the problem and the new (v1.1) firmware doesn't seem to help either.
I must say I'm impressed with Nikon's willingness to cover this frustrating problem and save the camera from the ugly fate of my "eight story apartment window drop-kick test!" This time the camera was in the shop for over two weeks, but it was worth every single day.
Not only did Nikon replace the lens assembly, they ALSO took it upon themselves to replace the battery box and cover (which had been loose but functional since the last visit, but that was the least of my concerns), the main switch and a couple of other bits and pieces too.
