Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix S6100 nor Canon PowerShot N provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S6100's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon N's 2.8" screen.
On the other hand, Canon N LCD screen has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Nikon S6100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N.
