Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 190 IS is significantly lighter (43g ) than the Nikon S6900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S6900 nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 190 IS 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 S6900's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 190 IS's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Nikon S6900 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. On the other hand, Canon ELPH 190 IS has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S6900.
