Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 360 HS is significantly lighter (391g ) than the Nikon L840 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS nor Nikon Coolpix L840 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 ELPH 360 HS and Nikon L840's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon L840 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Canon ELPH 360 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L840.
