Plainly, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon S9500 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S2950 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
