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 Samsung NX3000 and Canon M side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung NX3000 has external dimensions of 117 x 66 x 39 mm (4.61 x 2.6 x 1.54″) and weighs 230 g (including batteries). Canon M has external dimensions of 109 x 66 x 32 mm (4.29 x 2.6 x 1.26″) and weighs 298 g (0.66 lb / 10.51 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung NX3000 and the Canon M. Samsung NX3000 has the same height with Canon M. On the other hand, with a width of 117mm, it is 8 wider and also with a thickness of 39mm, it is 7mm thicker than Canon M.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung NX3000 and Canon M.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung NX3000 and Canon M.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX3000 is significantly lighter (68g ) than the Canon M which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Samsung NX3000 and Canon M have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung NX3000 nor Canon EOS M 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
Samsung NX3000 and Canon M's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung NX3000 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 M has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX3000.
