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 Nikon S1200pj and Canon S100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S1200pj has external dimensions of 107 x 64 x 23 mm (4.21 x 2.52 x 0.91″) and weighs 186 g (0.41 lb / 6.56 oz) (including batteries). Canon S100 has external dimensions of 99 x 60 x 28 mm (3.9 x 2.36 x 1.1″) and weighs 198 g (0.44 lb / 6.98 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S1200pj and the Canon S100. Canon S100 is 8mm narrower and 4mm shorter than Nikon S1200pj but it is also 5mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S1200pj and Canon S100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S1200pj and Canon S100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S1200pj is 12g lighter than the Canon S100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S1200pj 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
Nikon S1200pj and Canon S100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
