Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S3000 is significantly lighter (67g ) than the Nikon L22 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L22 nor Nikon Coolpix S3000 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
Nikon L22's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S3000's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
