Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S9100 nor Canon PowerShot N100 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 S9100 and Canon N100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon N100 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Nikon S9100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N100.
