Is it possible in a Nikon 950? Point being is to install
a "better" CCD than the original ... possible?

Everything is possible, but in this case ... nope
it is not possible within any reasonable cost. The
drive logic and also the housing is an integrated
part of the camera as much as the sensor.

So - the cheapest way to get a better sensor is to
buy another camera.

Thanks ... I sure wish they'd done a better job on
the 950's CCD ... dinjy, fuzzy, dim ... worthless
for normal shooting by hand unless the sun is
nice and bright. Even then it must be held very
steadily! ... I wonder if I could just buy a new
CCD and do the soldering myself.

It's much more than just changing the sensor. The on-board computer
has firmware with correction factors that ar unique to the sensor.

By the time you were done , you would spend maybe 2-4X what it would
cost to get a newer camera.
