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 Nikon S1200pj 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). Nikon S1200pj has external dimensions of 107 x 64 x 23 mm (4.21 x 2.52 x 0.91″) and weighs 186 g (0.41 lb / 6.56 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S6900 and the Nikon S1200pj. Nikon S6900 is 8mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Nikon S1200pj but it is also 5mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S6900 and Nikon S1200pj.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S6900 and Nikon S1200pj.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S6900 is 5g lighter than the Nikon S1200pj but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S6900 nor Nikon Coolpix S1200pj 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 Nikon S1200pj'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 S1200pj's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S6900.
