I think I'll buy 12 of these

Pros No film developing, environmentally sound
Cons Memory card supplied is too small
Recommended it? Yes

I run a news room, a very small news room, but a seven-day a week operation. My film costs have doubled in the last year and I've had more environmental nut bars (although I'm one myself) poking around my office this last two years than I have ever seen before.
So why am I going digital?... Read full review »

It's not a 35mm SLR. [Revised w/more detail 30 July 2000]

36 Helpfuls 37 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, lightweight, digital
Cons Crummy viewfinder; Dim LCD; terrible low-light performance
Recommended it? No

A little context: This may be an unusually demanding review

I should probably start this review by noting that it's tough for me to be fair to this camera. I'm used to demanding (and getting) the very best equipment - cameras like the Canon XL1 MiniDV camcorder and Canon EOS series still... Read full review »

Incredible Nikon Quality digital camera

bywatchdr_2000 Jan 20, 2001
35 Helpfuls 36 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Incredible macro, very sharp and color correct lens giving sharp brilliant pictures.
Cons Documentation on CDROM, serial port, useless for action photography, high battery drain.
Recommended it? Yes

When a friend at work told me he had taken over 5,000 pictures with his Nikon Coolpix 950 (mostly close-ups of watches, of course), and having seen quite a few of them, I decided that this was the way to go for me. My only concern was in transferring the images from the camera to my hard drive as... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Nikon made a huge impression in the digital photography market when they released the Coolpix 900. Although the camera was better than anything else on the market, it still had its faults. Nikon did their homework, and improved on the 900, creating the Coolpix 950, the best sub-$1000 camera on the... Read full review »

Best Digital Camera for under $600

Recommended it? Yes

I have had my eye on the Nikon Coolpix 950 for a while and decided to act on buying it a few weeks ago when I saw the price drop and the rebate program start. When the camera was released about 9 months ago it had an MSRP of $1000. I was able to get the camera for the low price of $549 (after... Read full review »

Wow! Cool Pics!

byONLYTRUTH Mar 18, 2001
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quality pictures, easy to use.
Cons Battery life
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this camera knowing that for about 589.00 it wasn't the best camera out there. However, we were surprised. I have never seen a 2 megapixel camera that creates pictures as well as the 950. "Bigger, better, faster, smarter..." There are so many enhancements bundled into the CoolPix 950 that... Read full review »

Pros Excellent quality, relatively easy to use.
Cons Viewfinder.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera for my husband for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. It's small, lightweight, easy to carry with you, and takes wonderful pictures. What more can you ask for in a camera?

We had a small Agfa camera, without all the features of the Nikon before we got the Coolpix... Read full review »

Pros Tremendous flexibility quality
Cons Poor documentation and support
Recommended it? Yes

I love my Nikon Coolpix 950 digital camera!

Once I reviewed the features of the camera with a knowledgeable salesperson, buying this camera was a "no-brainer" decision.

This is THE camera for any serious photographer who wants a camera purchase under $1,000.

I'm an illustrator at a major research laboratory and I need a digital camera for quick turnaround posters, publication images, multimedia presentations, and sometimes just documenting an experiment.
