Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon S100 is significantly lighter (91g ) than the Canon N100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot N100 nor Canon PowerShot S100 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 N100 and Canon S100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon N100 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 S100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N100.
