The S1600 was unveiled 11 years prior to the P950 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the S1600 matches up against the P950 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix S1600 & Nikon Coolpix P950. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm S1600 Gallery & Nikon P950 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and volume.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the S1600 and P950 is 78 and 52 respectively.

Often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1600 and P950.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon P950 to show more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older S1600 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
