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 Fujifilm S1 and Samsung NX300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S1 has external dimensions of 133 x 91 x 110 mm (5.24 x 3.58 x 4.33″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX300 has external dimensions of 122 x 64 x 41 mm (4.8 x 2.52 x 1.61″) and weighs 331 g (0.73 lb / 11.68 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1 and the Samsung NX300. Samsung NX300 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 27mm shorter and 69mm thinner than Fujifilm S1. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S1 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX300 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX300, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm S1 and Samsung NX300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX300 is significantly lighter (349g ) than the Fujifilm S1 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 NX300, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the S1 has a big advantage over the NX300 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung NX300's 3.30" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S1's 3" screen.
