Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon 160 and Nikon S2900 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 160 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.87″) and weighs 127 g (0.28 lb / 4.48 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S2900 has external dimensions of 95 x 59 x 20 mm (3.74 x 2.32 x 0.79″) and weighs 119 g (0.26 lb / 4.20 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 160 and the Nikon S2900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon 160 and Nikon S2900.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 160 and Nikon S2900.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S2900 is 8g lighter than the Canon 160 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 160 (IXUS 160) nor Nikon Coolpix S2900 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 160 and Nikon S2900's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
