The P950 was introduced 3 years after the HX350 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summary of how the P950 matches up vs the HX350 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix P950 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon P950 Gallery and Sony HX350 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera often, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume.

Often, it can be difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes only by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the P950 and HX350.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony HX350 to offer you more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The younger P950 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
