The N100 was revealed 4 years after the S630 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief view of how the N100 scores against the S630 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot N100 & Nikon Coolpix S630. The full galleries are viewable at Canon N100 Gallery & Nikon S630 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and measurements.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the N100 and S630 is 89 and 95 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at technical specs. The pic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the N100 and S630.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels but different sensor dimensions. The N100 has the larger sensor which will make getting shallower depth of field simpler. The younger N100 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
