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 S2900 and Canon 6D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S2900 has external dimensions of 95 x 59 x 20 mm (3.74 x 2.32 x 0.79″) and weighs 119 g (0.26 lb / 4.20 oz) (including batteries). Canon 6D has external dimensions of 145 x 111 x 71 mm (5.71 x 4.37 x 2.8″) and weighs 770 g (1.70 lb / 27.16 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S2900 and the Canon 6D. Nikon S2900 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 50mm narrower, 52mm shorter and 51mm thinner than Canon 6D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon S2900 has a built-in lens but Canon 6D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 6D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S2900 and Canon 6D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S2900 and Canon 6D.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S2900 is significantly lighter (651g ) than the Canon 6D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 6D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the 6D, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S2900.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 6D's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S2900's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
