Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon AW130 is significantly lighter (68g ) than the Nikon S9900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the AW130 has a big advantage over the S9900 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon AW130 and Nikon S9900's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon S9900 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Nikon AW130's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S9900.
