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 Panasonic TS6 and Samsung NX100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic TS6 has external dimensions of 110 x 67 x 29 mm (4.33 x 2.64 x 1.14″) and weighs 214 g (0.47 lb / 7.55 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX100 has external dimensions of 120 x 71 x 35 mm (4.72 x 2.8 x 1.38″) and weighs 282 g (0.62 lb / 9.95 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS6 and the Samsung NX100. Panasonic TS6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 6mm thinner than Samsung NX100. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic TS6 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX100 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX100, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS6 and Samsung NX100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS6 is significantly lighter (68g ) than the Samsung NX100 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 NX100, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the NX100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic TS6 and Samsung NX100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
