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 S6100 and Nikon S6000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S6100 has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 27 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 1.06″) and weighs 175 g (0.39 lb / 6.17 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S6000 has external dimensions of 97 x 55 x 25 mm (3.82 x 2.17 x 0.98″) and weighs 156 g (0.34 lb / 5.50 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S6100 and the Nikon S6000. Nikon S6000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Nikon S6100.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S6100 and Nikon S6000.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S6100 and Nikon S6000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S6000 is 19g lighter than the Nikon S6100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S6100 nor Nikon Coolpix S6000 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's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S6000's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
