Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S3600 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 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
Sony RX1's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S3600's 2.7" screen.
