Plainly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P950 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon P950 will provide extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern P950 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
