As you can tell, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The F300EXR using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon P950 will offer more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The older F300EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
