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

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the D30, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S640.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon D30's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S640's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
