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 Canon SX710 HS and Samsung NX mini side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX710 HS has external dimensions of 113 x 66 x 35 mm (4.45 x 2.6 x 1.38″) and weighs 269 g (0.59 lb / 9.49 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX mini has external dimensions of 110 x 62 x 23 mm (4.33 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 196 g (0.43 lb / 6.91 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX710 HS and the Samsung NX mini. Samsung NX mini is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 12mm thinner than Canon SX710 HS. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon SX710 HS has a built-in lens but Samsung NX mini doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX mini, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX710 HS and Samsung NX mini.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX710 HS and Samsung NX mini.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX mini is significantly lighter (73g ) than the Canon SX710 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on NX mini, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX710 HS nor Samsung NX mini 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
Canon SX710 HS and Samsung NX mini's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung NX mini 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 Canon SX710 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX mini.
