Nikon Coolpix 950 - Known Issues

Known Issues

A known issue with the camera was the battery compartment door, which was made of plastic. A somewhat cumbersome dual-action latching mechanism for the battery door often complicated this issue and if operated incorrectly could result in damage. Any damage to the battery door was troublesome, as the camera would not work at all if the door is unlatched. Fortunately the door was and is an inexpensive part and could be replaced simply. Otherwise the (new to the 950) magnesium body proved a durable and rugged upgrade from the 900.

Other known issues include the rubber finger grip which could come loose, and while it caused no functional issues it was bothersome and affected the 'feel' of the camera in the shooting mode. The grip could be replaced with simple rubber cement. (Note: the grip is missing in the photo above.)

The body swivel bearing could become a bit wobbly over time. The 950 featured a much larger and improved bearing than the 900 and the loose bearing did not affect performance.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:

    The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.
    Penelope Leach (20th century)
