Sunny,

As much as the Nikon CoolPix has been a best-seller, the styling of the camera never appealed to me, personally. It reminds me of the old Kodak 110 cameras, if you are old enough to remember what they were like. My older sister had one. The negatives were so small that it made it difficult for them to be handled. Not every lab was able to do reprints either. I hated the 110 format.

The 950 is old news now. I would be looking for a 3.3 megapixel camera now. The Canon S20 is probably the least expensive. It is very small and stylish with a metal case and the features you would expect from Canon. It has had good reviews. From my perspective, the camera is too small and difficult to hold and make adjustments to features. Some may find the size appealing. I like the Epson 850Z because of the feel. It feels like an SLR. I like the photos I get from it. I think the white balance is off at times and some photos have a yellow tint that has to be adjusted in post-processing with a desktop PC. Also, I would definitely look to upgrade to more than 2.1 megapixels if it were available and cost competitive.

With digital cameras you are constantly fighting obsolescence. It is worth ponying up the extra money if it is in your budget. I would take a close look at the Canon.
