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 S6100 nor Nikon Coolpix P7700 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 S6100 and Nikon P7700's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P7700 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Nikon S6100's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7700.
