Nikon Coolpix 950
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nikon Coolpix 950 was introduced in early 1999 to supersede the Coolpix 900 in the Nikon Coolpix series. It is a robust and durable camera with swivel body, 1600×1200 maximum resolution, 3× optical zoom and a closest focusing distance of 2 cm. It was in turn superseded by the 990, and is now discontinued. The main fault of the camera was the battery compartment door, which was weak. Additionally, many users found that even a minor shock to the camera caused damage to the autofocus geartrain, resulting in costly repairs.
Modern digital cameras filter out most of the infrared spectrum that their sensors detect. The older generation of cameras however, such as the Coolpix 950, did not filter so much IR light and are still useful today as inexpensive means to achieving this type of photography.[1]
