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 S6900 and Canon ELPH 350 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S6900 has external dimensions of 99 x 58 x 28 mm (3.9 x 2.28 x 1.1″) and weighs 181 g (0.40 lb / 6.38 oz) (including batteries). Canon ELPH 350 HS has external dimensions of 100 x 58 x 23 mm (3.94 x 2.28 x 0.91″) and weighs 147 g (0.32 lb / 5.19 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S6900 and the Canon ELPH 350 HS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S6900 and Canon ELPH 350 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S6900 and Canon ELPH 350 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 350 HS is significantly lighter (34g ) 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 350 HS (IXUS 275 HS) 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 and Canon ELPH 350 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, 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. Canon ELPH 350 HS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S6900.
