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 70D and Samsung NX3000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 70D has external dimensions of 139 x 104 x 79 mm (5.47 x 4.11 x 3.09″) and weighs 755 g (1.66 lb / 26.63 oz) (including batteries). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 70D and the Samsung NX3000. Samsung NX3000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 22mm narrower, 38mm shorter and 40mm thinner than Canon 70D.

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 (525g ) than the Canon 70D 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 Canon 70D and Samsung NX3000 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
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 70D has a big advantage over the NX3000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 70D and Samsung NX3000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Samsung NX3000 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon 70D sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
