LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S6900 and Nikon AW120'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. Nikon AW120's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S6900.
