Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S3600 is 4g lighter than the Nikon S3500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S3600 nor Nikon Coolpix S3500 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing

Nikon S3600 and Nikon S3500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
