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 350D and Samsung TL320 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 350D has external dimensions of 127 x 94 x 64 mm (5 x 3.7 x 2.52″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries). Samsung TL320 has external dimensions of 97 x 61 x 21 mm (3.82 x 2.4 x 0.83″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 350D and the Samsung TL320. Samsung TL320 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 30mm narrower, 33mm shorter and 43mm thinner than Canon 350D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Samsung TL320 has a built-in lens but Canon 350D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 350D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 350D and Samsung TL320.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung TL320 is 540g lighter than the Canon 350D 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 350D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS 350D (EOS Digital Rebel XT / EOS Kiss Digital N) nor Samsung TL320 (WB1000) 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 TL320's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon 350D's 1.8 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
