Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Nikon P340 has external dimensions of 103 x 58 x 32 mm (4.06 x 2.28 x 1.26″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P340 is significantly lighter (95g ) than the Nikon S9900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P340 nor Nikon Coolpix S9900 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 P340 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 P340's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S9900.
