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 N100 and Nikon S9300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon N100 has external dimensions of 105 x 68 x 36 mm (4.13 x 2.68 x 1.42″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot N100 nor Nikon Coolpix S9300 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 Nikon S9300'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 Nikon S9300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N100.
