Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 130 is significantly lighter (27g ) than the Nikon S6300 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S6300 nor Canon ELPH 130 (IXUS 140) 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
Canon ELPH 130's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S6300's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
