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 Olympus SH-3 and Nikon S3600 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SH-3 has external dimensions of 109 x 63 x 42 mm (4.29 x 2.48 x 1.65″) and weighs 271 g (0.60 lb / 9.56 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S3600 is significantly lighter (146g ) than the Olympus SH-3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus SH-3 nor Nikon Coolpix S3600 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
Olympus SH-3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S3600's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
