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 TG-860 and Samsung NX2000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-860 has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 28 mm (5.12 x 2.52 x 1.1″) and weighs 224 g (0.49 lb / 7.90 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX2000 has external dimensions of 119 x 65 x 36 mm (4.69 x 2.56 x 1.42″) and weighs 228 g (0.50 lb / 8.04 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-860 and the Samsung NX2000. Olympus TG-860 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Samsung NX2000. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Olympus TG-860 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX2000 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX2000, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-860 and Samsung NX2000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-860 is 4g lighter than the Samsung NX2000 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 NX2000, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-860, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the NX2000.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung NX2000's 3.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus TG-860's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Olympus TG-860 LCD screen has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Samsung NX2000 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-860.
