When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have during that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the S95 against the S6200.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S95 and S6200.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S95 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon S6200 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S95 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
