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

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S7000 nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 180 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Nikon S7000's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 180's 2.7 screen.
