LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S9100 and Panasonic FZ150's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ150 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 S9100's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ150.
